Exploratory Cell Networks Projects
Exploratory Cell Networks grants explore the frontiers of genomics, cell biology, and synthetic biology. These projects will focus on developing technologies to engineer cell and tissue models, exploring cellular responses to genetic and environmental stressors, understanding RNA's role in metabolism, and more.
to engineer, manipulate, and analyze cell-cell interactions using synthetic morphogenesis and lab-on-a-particle technologies.
