Engineering Living MatterWe are passionate about making living matter fully engineerable. We don't consider this goal to be abstract or arbitrary, rather something that should be accomplished over the next few decades and that is absolutely central to enable all of humanity to flourish in partnership with Earth (10 billion happy people AND a healthy planet). See the following for additional high-level framing: Fine, But What Can I Do?People often struggle to parse our broad goal in ways that lead to specific opportunities, either as a potential student or postdoc here at Stanford or as a collaborator. We share the same struggle; it's a big puzzle with many opportunities! Practically, we have a few guiding principles that help us understand what projects and questions will be exciting to work on. We tend to look for and support projects that require progress along two or more of these principles:
Any Specific ExamplesHere are some examples of recent or ongoing projects that recombine various aspects of the above:
