Non-Optical Methods for High Speed Protein Control

Agency: DEPT OF DEFENSE Location: ARLINGTON, VA Solicitation #: DARPA-SN-26-89 Due: 2026-12-31 6:59PM EST (in 1 month)
Yes Federal

Summary

UPDATE: The purpose of Amendment 1 to DARPA-SN-26-89, the Non-Optical Methods for High Speed Protein Control Special Notice (SN), is to clarify the notice deadline. DARPA BTO will be actively “shopping” the ERIS Marketplace for innovative, post-competitive, awardable solutions that address the need for a new class of rapidly switchable, non-optogenetic protein domains for real-time cellular control. This effort seeks to develop a robust and versatile molecular tool for massless information transfer across a cell membrane, intended to supplement existing synthetic biology platforms.
