Biomolecular design and evolution
Phage-conjugated nanoparticles detecting 100 bacterial cells
Experimental fitness landscape of catalytic RNA to predict molecular evolution
We study catalytic RNA and bacteriophages to understand fundamental principles of biomolecular design and evolution. Incorporating these components into nanoscale assemblages allows us to address emerging challenges in biotechnology and infectious diseases.
