NIH grant awarded to Duke University to study BMP signaling in embryonic development using imaging and modeling techniques, with a funding amount of $104,438 for 2025-2026.
Description
This project aims to understand how cells perceive and respond to BMP signaling inputs during embryonic development, using advanced live imaging, mathematical modeling, and cross-species analysis in insects. The research will develop predictive models for BMP target gene transcription, examine crosstalk with EGFR/ERK signaling, and expand tools to study BMP dynamics in Tribolium castaneum.
