-'''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.
