I work in the Wilmer Eye Institute at the JHU School of Medicine. I learned about OpenWetWare from the 24C3 Endy lecture, and I've joined because I am interested in contributing to the BBF Technical Standards.

Research Interests

1. Basic Synthetic Biology
   1. Epigenetics - Manipulating chromatin structures (such as those regulated by DNA methylation and histone tail modifications) as a form of wetware programming
   2. Biocircuits - Designing devices and chassis for cellular computation and communications
   3. Virology - Engineering viruses and pseudoviruses to deliver biological parts and initiate or disrupt signal transduction
2. Applied Synthetic Biology
   1. Immunology - Defining the theoretical framework and designing components for an artificial immune system
   2. Astrobiology - Engineering sensory devices and energy pathways for extreme environments
   3. Biocomputing - Exploring silicon-based hardware-wetware communications interface

Current Projects

• Promoter Measurement Test (see protocol)

My wet lab contributions are documented in my OWW Notebook.
