**Recipient:** Utah State Higher Education System--University of Utah

**Award Amount:** $382,030.00
**Ceiling:** $382,030.00

**Awarded:** August 25, 2026

**Identifier:** 5R35GM147491-05

The project uses molecular dynamics, coarse-graining, and mesoscale modeling to study how integrins sense mechanical forces and regulate cell motion, with potential relevance to mechanotransduction-related diseases.

### Description
