What we do
Synthetic biology (SynBio) is a multidisciplinary area of research that seeks to create new biological parts, devices, and systems, or to redesign systems that are already found in nature. In our lab, we use synthetic biology to develop novel therapeutics for cancer research and treatment, as well as infectious disease research.
