Balancing the growth of the bioeconomy with the inherent risks associated with the potential misuse of artificial intelligence (AI) related to nucleic acid
The Cellular Engineering Group is working to engineer components of living cells to sense environmental fluctuations induced by contaminants within their
We work to engineer novel function in GPCRs using a microbial platform. This enables rapid, and multi-objective engineering, to precisely characterize and tune
Diverse biological sciences, from engineering to epidemiology, benefit from an increased understanding of how genetic code (genotype) determines downstream
All living things measure their environment, make decisions, and respond. Systematic re-engineering of these living measurement and control systems has the
Technologies to manipulate biological systems have far outpaced our ability to design the function of those systems in a predictable way. This is, in part, a
Measurements of the performance of engineered organisms are typically not reproducible or comparable across different laboratories. So, to enable meaningful
Evolution poses unique challenges to engineering in living organisms. The successful implementation and development of a sustainable bioeconomy will require
The Cellular Engineering Group works to provide metrology for rapid, successful translation of safe, effective bioproducts based on cell-free expression systems
The Cell-Free Workshop sought to identify and prioritize actionable steps towards more reproducible and comparable cell-free systems for practical applications
RNA is an increasingly attractive molecule for engineering biology, in part due to the sequence-programmable nature of RNA:RNA interactions. The Cellular
