Montana State University team awarded Keck Foundation grant to study extreme Yellowstone microbes
Thanks to a prestigious, $1 million grant from the W.M. Keck Foundation http://www.wmkeck.org/ , researchers at Montana State University will be expanding their investigations into how microorganisms thrive in the hostile conditions of Yellowstone’s hot springs, work that may one day lead to new discoveries in medicine, energy, materials and other fields.
One of the largest private foundations in the United States, the W.M. Keck Foundation supports fundamental and applied research in science, engineering and medicine as well as educational initiatives. The foundation awarded the grant for collaborative work in MSU’s interdisciplinary Thermal Biology Institute (TBI), led by Brent Peyton, a professor of chemical and biological engineering.
