Creative Inquiry: Analyzing and Engineering Bacterial Communities


Applying engineering principles across biological scales: from molecular systems to multispecies cell communities

Develop fieldable nucleic acid-based sensors for rapid pathogen detection

Engineering bacterial cells for stable production of high-value biomolecules through optimized regulatory control

Identifying novel genetic components and constructing robust microbial chassis

Investigate chitinase regulation in individual cells and across biofilm communities

Understanding multispecies community dynamics to inform bacterial community design

Design multispecies bacterial communities for application, e.g, prevent marine biofouling, prevent pathogen growth
