Dr. Brian Chadwick
Scientific Review Officer
Maximizing Investigators’ Research Award - F Study Section (MRAF) reviews NIGMS-sponsored MIRA (R35) grant applications aimed at understanding fundamental molecular mechanisms and regulation, including genome integrity, gene expression, RNA metabolism and function, and protein synthesis. It also reviews applications on diverse topics in bacterial and archaeal cell biology, including bacterial communities and behavior, such as microbiomes. MRAF covers genomic studies, population genetics and evolution, which can also include development and application of new technologies, statistical methods, mathematical models, computational algorithms, and bioinformatics tools.
