Research Interests
Synthetic Biology I'm interested in using synthetic biology to engineer biosystems with a useful applications. Previously, I harnessed industrially robust microbes to produce energy. This project consisted of engineering a system of both yeast and E. coli that is capable of producing hydrogen from a sugar input.
Systems-level understanding of mRNA metabolism mRNA processing is a fundamental aspect of cell biology, yet its regulation is still poorly understood. I am taking single molecule imaging approach to answer central questions within this field.
