I work in the OVC Pathobiology department at Guelph University. I learned about OpenWetWare from iGEM and Andrew Hessel, and I've joined because Competing in iGEM secured strong interest in synthetic biology; intend of pursuing career in this area.
Education
- 2010, BSc Honors Molecular Biology & Genetics, Minor Neuroscience, University of Guelph
Synthetic Biology Experience
- Awarded Bronze metal in iGEM 2008 representing the University of Guelph with goal of engineering food grade bacteria to produce beta-carotene. Proof of concept completed in E.coli.
Interests
Synthetic Biology
- Genetic manipulation/rational design of symbiotic bacteria for therapeutic purposes; elaborating host/microbe interactions, controlled drug delivery, etc.
- Organelle-like, compartmentalized isolation of select metabolic components for introducing modularity and increasing pathway efficiency.
- Harnessing cellular energy for powering electronics
- Reliable, targeted gene manipulation in eukaryotes (gene therapy).
Other Interests
- Epigenetics: particularly of neuroplasticity.
- Brain-machine interfaces
- IPSC's: everything.
Favorite Synthetic Biology Related Publications
- Kong W, Wanda SY, Zhang X, Bollen W, Tinge SA, Roland KL, and Curtiss R 3rd. Regulated programmed lysis of recombinant Salmonella in host tissues to release protective antigens and confer biological containment. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2008 Jul 8;105(27):9361-6. DOI:10.1073/pnas.0803801105 |
