The Synthetic Biology Group is focused on advancing fundamental designs and applications for synthetic biology.  Using principles inspired by electrical engineering and computer science, we are developing new techniques for constructing, probing, modulating, and modeling engineered biological circuits.  Our current application areas include infectious diseases, amyloid-associated conditions, and nanotechnology.
