I run the Hughes Lab at Boise State University. I joined OpenWetWare because I would like to: 1) create a dynamic group web page to archive information, 2) share resources with the synthetic biology community, 3) gain access to researchers focused on DNA-based Nanotechnology, and 4) establish future collaborations that are mutually supportive.
