Our group is broadly interested in creating new biotechnologies based upon genetically engineered microbes. Our research focuses on two important challenges toward this goal: (1) advancing our ability to genetically engineer the large numbers of undomesticated, non-model microbes in the laboratory, and (2) creating new technologies to allow microbial consortia to be genetically programmed in their native environment (e.g., gut, soil, marine, wastewater). To achieve this, we use engineered RNA molecules to create memory devices, sensors, and gene regulators to program individual cells and consortia.
