    molecular tools to study the dynamics of gene regulation

    We leverage our expertise in contemporary genome-editing technologies and optogenetics to build tools to better understand transcriptional, post-transcriptional and translational regulation. Such modern molecular tools will shed valueable information about the spatio-temporal aspects of gene regulation and help to determine causality. Others are designed to resolve targeted problem areas of the biotechnological industry.

    bioengineering for social good

    We are passionate about our science directly impacting the society so our undergraduate projects are typically tailored towards addressing locally relevant problems. For example, we designed a enzyme-based approach to clean red Paan (betel-nut mouth freshner) stains that won several accolades at iGEM 2018.
