We apply synthetic and systems biology approaches to design and build cells with new capabilities, leveraging both engineering and evolutionary principles.
We are interested in developing platform technologies and using them to answer fundamental biological questions. Our research interests include:
Genome engineering
Human microbiome
Spatiotemporal metagenomics
Computational protein design
Cellular memory and recording
Engineered living materials
Origin of life & the genetic code
We are based at Columbia University Irving Medical Center in New York City, and are affiliated with the following departments and programs:
