The Abedi Lab
for Synthetic Signaling

By merging synthetic biology with computational protein design and biocircuit engineering, we turn cell communication into a programmable system

We build tools.

Our lab pioneers technologies to observe and control cellular communication.

Diverse expertise.

Our team brings together scientists and engineers from many fields.

Collaborative space.

We believe that the best science thrives in open collaboration and continuous collective learning.

Programming living systems by building and rewiring biological components.

Computational design of entirely new proteins to create functions biology never evolved.

Rapidly building and testing thousands of designs to turn ideas into data at scale.
