Intelligent design
of living systems

Synthetic Biology

Nature has evolved billions of useful molecular nanotechnology devices in the form of genes, across the tree of life. We catalog, refine, and remix these genetic components to engineer new biological systems.

Computational Modeling

Biology is complex, and genetic engineering unlocks an unbounded design space. Computational tools are critical to design and model complex biophysical systems and move synthetic biology beyond traditional brute force screening.

Cellular Measurement

Genome-scale, multi-omics measurement technologies provide deep views into the cell. These techniques permit pathway analysis at the scale of a whole cell, and inspection down at single-nucleotide resolution.

Machine Learning

We are developing machine learning algorithms that bridge large-scale datasets with mechanistic models of biology. Artificial intelligence can augment human capabilities to design and understand biological complexity.
