Synthetic Biology

Designing cellular functions through gene circuits, gene delivery and genome engineering.

RESEARCH / Synthetic Biology

Research projects

Inducible expression systems

We develop cells with controllable gene expression using retinoic-acid- and tetracycline-responsive regulatory systems.

Gene delivery and genome engineering

Viral vectors, recombinases and site-specific recombination are used to engineer stable expression.

RNA-guided translational control

We explore RNA-binding protein and translation-initiation-factor combinations to enhance translation.
