Synthetic Biology & Bio-Foundry Task Force
Engineering biological systems and organisms with precision to solve complex scientific and humanitarian challenges.
Research Mission
The Synthetic Biology & Bio-Foundry Task Force applies the principles of engineering to biological systems — designing, building, and testing novel genetic circuits, metabolic pathways, and organisms with defined functions. The unit operates a bio-foundry platform that enables rapid design-build-test-learn cycles for synthetic biology applications ranging from biosensor development and biomanufacturing to therapeutic protein production and environmental remediation.
Key Research Functions
Genetic Engineering
Designing and constructing novel genetic circuits and metabolic pathways that confer defined functions on biological systems — enabling applications from biosensing and bioproduction to therapeutic delivery.
Bio-Foundry Operations
Operating an automated bio-foundry platform that enables high-throughput design-build-test-learn cycles — accelerating synthetic biology development from concept to functional prototype.
Biosafety Engineering
Integrating biosafety and biocontainment measures into synthetic biology designs — developing genetic safeguards, kill switches, and containment strategies that prevent unintended environmental release.
