I am interested in the engineering of complex biological systems through synthetic biology to achieve programmable information and energy processing.

During my PhD I engineered bacterial cells and protocellular structures as autonomous and programmable biosensors-biocomputers capable of multiplexed biomolecular signal integration and processing. I developed CAD tools, microfluidic and molecular biology strategies to automatize the implementation of logic circuits in biological substrate (i.e. synthetic genes circuits and biochemical circuits). I developped concepts, systematic methods, computational tools and biological standards to:

  • 1. Engineer next-generation diagnostics. I engineered autonomous and programmable biosensors integrating multiplexed pathological biomarker detection and complex biological signal processing as intelligent diagnostic devices.
  • 2. Engineer novel biocomputing devices that solve complex problems and process/interface biological information at the microscale. I developed microfluidic and computer assisted methodologies to program these synthetic biosystems from the bottum-up (e.g. protocells).


I am now focusing on rational protein design for its potential to develop novel versatile, bio-electronic interfaceable, ultra low power and self assembling nanoscale computers.

I believe that collaboration between scientists and promotion of interdisciplinarity is the key to understand and engineer biology.
