I am a scientist with a research focus on engineering microbes with novel genetic circuits for useful applications. I also investigate interesting phenomena that are encountered through this engineering-centric approach to better understand the nuances of biology. I completed my Ph.D. in the Hasty Lab at UCSD. I am currently a postdoctoral scholar at the Knight Lab at UCSD’s Pediatrics Department, studying spatial bacterial physiology and adaptation behaviors.
I also co-founded GenCirq, Inc., a company which is commercializing some of my work on therapeutic gene circuits. To learn more, please visit www.gencirq.com.
