Professor, Bioengineering, School of Engineering
Our group uses biophysical, biochemical, computational and protein engineering methods to study a variety of fundamental biological problems including protein folding and function, the control of gene expression, and molecular evolution.
We are also developing protein-based tools for enabling biomedical research and disease diagnostics methods, including advanced fluorescence biosensors for monitoring the physiology of live cells in real time, antibody-free methods for the capture and instant detection of viral pathogens, and fluorescence sensors for monitoring the levels of toxic metals in water, soil and foods.
