I work in a team to functionalize
synthetic membranes with life-like properties and develop tools to improve
membrane functionalization. Using reconstitution and cell-free expression
methods, membranes can be equipped with natural and engineered proteins to
perform designed functions. I most enjoy developing functionalized membranes
for real-world applications.
I also investigate the strong
impacts of the genetic context outside of typically annotated genetic elements
(such as promoter and RBS) in bacteria and minimal cell-free expression systems.
