| I'm a PhD candidate in Dr. Stephen Fong's [[Fong| ''Systems Biological Engineering Laboratory'']] at VCU in Richmond, VA. My graduate work has been focused on developing genetic parts to control transcription. I am also actively developing synthetic biology educational material. Please feel free to [mailto:mcarthurgh@vcu.edu email me]. My research interests include:
