A Theoretical and Experimental Study of DNA Self-assembly
(2012)The control of matter and phenomena at the nanoscale is fast becoming one of the most important challenges of the 21st century with wide-ranging applications from energy and health care to computing and material science. ... -
Bistability, Synthetic Biology, and Antibiotic Treatment
(2010)Bistable switches are commonly observed in the regulation of critical processes such as cell cycles and differentiation. The switches possess two fundamental properties: memory and bimodality. Once switched ON, the switches ... -
Computational Molecular Engineering Nucleic Acid Binding Proteins and Enzymes
(2010)Interactions between nucleic acid substrates and the proteins and enzymes that bind and catalyze them are ubiquitous and essential for reading, writing, replicating, repairing, and regulating the genomic code by the proteomic ... -
Dynamics at Different Scales: Hormonal Control in Oryza Sativa Root Circumnutation and Gene Regulation in Arabidopsis thaliana Cell Differentiation
(2020)This research spans multiple scales—from the entire organism, down to the genes that created it.The first project, “Gene Dynamics in Tissue Development”, explores how stem cell differentiation depends on the dynamics of ... -
Engineering Prokaryotic Sodium Channels for Excitable Tissue Therapies
(2017)Voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSCs) enable generation and spread of action potentials in electrically excitable cells and tissues of all metazoans, from jellyfish to humans. The functional, pore-forming α-subunit of eukaryotic ... -
Interview with Dr. Drew Endy by Michael Pell
(2007)Drew Endy is a professor at Stanford University, where he studies synthetic biology. In this interview, he discusses the development of synthetic biology and an open source development model. -
Molecular Bioengineering: From Protein Stability to Population Suicide
(2010)Driven by the development of new technologies and an ever expanding knowledge base of molecular and cellular function, Biology is rapidly gaining the potential to develop into a veritable engineering discipline - the so-called ... -
Pattern Formation in Engineered Bacteria: from Understanding to Applications
(2017)Patterns are ubiquitous in living organisms. However, the mechanisms driving self-organized pattern formations are not well understood. Due to the complexity of natural systems, many confounding factors complicate quantitative ...
