Microbes for biosensing and manufacturing
We use genomics, synthetic biology, and metabolic engineering to design and build biosensors and cell factories.
Research Areas
Metabolic EngineeringWe use modular parts libraries and combinatorial pathway engineering to make a host overproduce a target molecule.
Genetic CircuitsWe have developed a fungal-bacterial system that can send signals centimeters underground.
Organism OnboardingWe build the genomic foundation and modular parts that make a new host engineerable.
BiofoundriesWe integrate genome sequencing into strain development to verify the accuracy of genetic engineering.
