Research in the CSB takes place in multiple departments across campus and involves engineered gene regulatory mechanisms and networks, engineered signaling pathways, metabolic engineering, and engineered biological molecules such as proteins and nucleic acids. CSB researchers are using synthetic biology to develop new tools to study existing biological systems, novel diagnostics and therapeutics, cellular platforms for chemical synthesis, and new strains for industrial processes.
