What this research studies
This grant provides an S10 Instrumentation grant to acquire the xMAP Intelliflex System at UAGM-Carolina, a campus focused on undergraduate education. The system enables multi-analyte profiling using microspheres to detect up to 500 targets in a single sample, expanding hands-on training for biology, biotechnology, and chemistry students. It will support multiple UAGM campuses and the University of Puerto Rico Medical Campus through collaborative projects and coursework like BIOL 395 and CHEM 601. The funding will strengthen research capabilities, promote hands-on learning, and foster new partnerships in Puerto Rico.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If funded, students and researchers can perform advanced biomolecular analyses on campus, accelerating education and hands-on discovery.
How similar studies have gone: Previous institutions have successfully enhanced teaching and research with similar multi-analyte platforms.
