Engineering Biology Objectives & Technical Achievements
Scale-up hard-to-produce therapeutic molecules, proteins, and cell therapies.
Engineering DNA | Biomolecular Engineering | Host Engineering | Data Science |
---|---|---|---|
Parallel, scalable, and cost-effective genome engineering to enable the use of allogeneic cell sources, as opposed to patient-specific sources. |
Engineer temperature-stable, active macromolecule- and cell-based therapies. Design molecular features to support inexpensive, robust purification and processing of therapeutics. Develop circuits that behave robustly across different growth media. |
Develop and characterize select microbes for advanced-therapeutics production in stationary phase. |
Create publicly-accessible and encrypted databases of health-related data. Identify critical metabolic/molecular bottlenecks and work-arounds for hard-to-produce therapeutics. |
