Cell-free Systems
Providing an unprecedented freedom of design to modify and control biological systems.
The Center for Synthetic Biology’s research draws from the tools and concepts of physics, engineering, and computer science to explore four unique themes: cell-free systems, mammalian systems, enabling technologies, and ethics and societal impact.
Providing an unprecedented freedom of design to modify and control biological systems.
Impacting medicine through novel platforms and therapeutic strategies based upon custom-programming cellular functions.
Using engineering and technology to explore new bioethical questions and evaluate how to maximize societal benefit.
The Center for Synthetic Biology is supported through the use of multiple research facilities specializing in proteomics, genomics, flow cytometric analysis, developmental therapeutics, and recombinant protein production.
