Synthetic Signaling

Synthetic Signaling

We engineer signaling components and pathways from first principles to achieve precise, programmable control of cell function.

We use computational protein design to rewrite and expand the language of cells by creating new "words" (signaling molecules), allowing us to speak to cells in ways evolution never explored.

Protein Computation

Protein Computation

Proteins are nature’s computational machinery. We harness them to build programmable protein computers that sense and control cellular behavior.
