==Research==
My research concerns nucleic acids as adaptive gene regulatory elements in mammalian cells. These molecules are able to detect changes in the cellular environment, e.g. cancerous or infected, and act accordingly. Previously I've worked on human genetic evolution, drug delivery, tissue engineering, novel nucleic acids, and macromolecular transport across nuclear pores.  
My research concerns synthetic regulation of eukaryotic gene expression for applications in green production of chemicals and gene therapy.
