UD Teams Get Millions in NSF Funding

The University of Delaware’s K. Eric Wommack (center), deputy dean in the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources, will lead a research team from four universities that has received a $6 million grant to probe how viruses impact microbes critical to our lives, from producing oxygen to growing food. Members of the UD research team are (from left) Jaysheel Bhavsar, Barbra Ferrell, Robert Ferrell, Shawn Polson, Wommack, Jason Gleghorn and Jeffry Fuhrmann.

K. Eric Wommack’s group gets $6 million to study viruses

The University of Delaware’s K. Eric Wommack, deputy dean in the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources, will lead a research team from four universities that has received a $6 million grant to probe how viruses impact microbes critical to our lives, from producing oxygen to growing food.

Also, UD’s Kelvin Lee, Gore Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, is a co-investigator on a $6.1 million research project, led by Clemson University, aimed at lowering drug manufacturing costs.
