McCormick Prof. Arthur Prindle won the Faculty Early Career Development Program award — the National Science Foundation’s most prestigious award for junior faculty — according to a University news release.
Prindle will receive $561,450 over five years, which he will use to study emergent coordinated group behavior in bacterial biofilms — or clusters of bacteria that attach to surfaces and/or each other. His research could apply to fighting antibiotic resistance and microbial diagnostics.
The award recognizes individuals who model being a “teacher-scholar.” According to the news release, Prindle’s new project will provide opportunities for students involved with systems and synthetic biology.
