The NSF EPSCoR CREST Center for Adaptive Nanomotor Development was established with a $7.5 million Centers of Research Excellence in Science and Technology (CREST) grant in 2025 from the National Science Foundation. Researchers are studying how protein nanomotors are biologically engineered to modify their mechanical functions and their interactions with the cytoskeleton, other motor proteins, endogenous ligands, and neurological functions. Such cellular machines are of interest not only for the richness in basic science, but also for the potential to revolutionize critical technologies. The Center will spearhead a program to encourage junior faculty and trainees to develop case uses of basic science findings. Educational and outreach initiatives will broaden scientific perspectives of protein design and mechanics. What is learned at the bench is extendible to different protein superfamilies.
