NSF Grant to Support Research on How Proteins Form Groups Within Cells

A $470,350 award from the National Science Foundation will support research at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) to gain a better understanding of how proteins form groups or clusters within cells in the living body. Abnormal protein grouping is known to be associated with cancer and with heart arrhythmias, but scant knowledge exists about how proteins group.
