Nagarajan Lab Wins Prestigious Biochemistry Grant
Biochemistry Professor Rajesh Nagarajan and his lab have secured a National Institutes of Health Maximizing Investigators’ Research Award (MIRA), a first for Idaho.
The award provides $350,000 per year in research funding over five years, totaling $1.7 million, to support Nagarajan’s research on molecules that inhibit communication between bacteria, with significant implications for pharmaceutical development.
“We are incredibly proud of Rajesh for receiving the MIRA award — a first for Boise State and the State of Idaho,”said Nancy Glenn, vice president of research and economic development at Boise State.
This grant is a milestone for Idaho, marking the first time a lab in the state has received a MIRA grant.
