| Research in the Ellis Lab focuses on advancing biotechnology through the use of synthetic biology. Projects fall into one of two categories or belong in both:
| |
| | |
| * '''1. Foundational Synthetic Biology'''
| |
| Developing the tools for rapid, predictable engineering of biological devices and systems. <br>
| |
| | |
| ''Examples: biopart design, assembly techniques and device synthesis, part and device characterisation, standardisation, chassis systems, mathematical models, design simulations''<br>
| |
| | |
| * '''2. Applied Synthetic Biology'''
| |
| Using the synthetic biology approach in biotechnology applications . <br>
| |
| | |
| ''Examples: combinatorial synthesis of pathways, modular design of biosensors''
