I work as an engineer at National Instruments. I've joined OpenWetWare to learn what automation processes and instrumentation systems required for synthetic biology. In addition, I would like to learn the synthetic biology design process using BioBricks with the goal of leading a high school group in the future. An audacious goal would be to create design a biosensor platform for rare diseases.
