I'm a postdoc in Herbert Sauro's lab at University of Washington. I have just started a synthetic biology project and will be an advisor for the UW iGEM 2008 team. Hopefully I will be able to contribute something here soon.

Education

• 2007, PhD, Michigan State University, Microbiology and Molecular Genetics
• 1999, BS, University of Arizona, Molecular and Cellular Biology

Research interests

1. Synthetic biology (standards, modular gene networks, stochasticity, feed-forward loops)
2. Evolution (using it as a friend of synthetic biology instead of an enemy)
3. Mutation rates under stress
