Research highlights include:

Research on memory engrams, those groups of neurons that fire together and can distribute a memory across many neurons, will be the focus of a new study. Scientists will use brain machine interfaces to determine whether memories are preserved if some neurons are re-engineered.An investigation on the symbiotic relationship of corals and dinoflagellates will show that critical nutrients are conveyed to the corals through protein glycosylation, for which microorganisms are provided safe harbor. This exchange is critical for coral reef health and may yield new insights for restoring and protecting coral reefs.How bacteria mutate and acquire genetic material from hosts to resist antibiotics has been well studied; this new study evaluates how individual cells resist antibiotics. Scientists hope to better understand variability in cellular responses, which could also unlock insight regarding cancer and other diseases as well.

About HFSP Awards:

HFSP Long-Term Fellowships support scientists with a Ph.D. in a biological discipline to conduct a frontier project in the life sciences. Cross-Disciplinary Fellowships support scientists with a Ph.D. in a non-biological discipline (math, physics, computer science, etc.) to work on a frontier project in biology.
