Funding                                 

          The Membrane Structure and Assembly Lab was funded through the National Institutes of Health, General Medicine, with multiple grants for ~20 years.  We collect X-ray synchrotron data at the Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source (CHESS) which is funded by both the National Science Foundation and the NIH.  

           Undergraduates have been funded through the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, administered through the Department of Biological Sciences, Carnegie Mellon University, Summer Undergraduate Research Grants and NASA grants for summer students.

           Professor Tristram-Nagle was also the recipient of a $77,000 equipment grant administered through the National Institutes of Science and Technology (NIST) for the purpose of construction of a new hydration chamber for neutron scattering.

           Professor Tristram-Nagle also received a 3-year investigator-initiated grant from the Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences at the NSF which supported postdoctoral fellow Dr. Saheli Mitra to study effect of charged amphiphiles on LMMs.

           Professor Trisram-Nagle also receives partial funding from NIH through a collaboration with the lab of Dr. Toni Deslouches, Dept. of Environmental and Occupational Health, School of Public Health, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA.
