    Research Interest

    My research is on the design and construction of synthetic viral genomes to address a range of important questions in bioengineering and biotechnology. Building synthetic phage genomes has been hampered in the past by the extreme toxicity of these viruses to E. coli. I recently developed a method that solves this problem by using yeast as a platform to assemble phage genomes. Using this method I have decompressed the phiX174 genome and showed the virus is fully functional without gene overlaps.

    Research Interest

    I am a postdoctoral scholar in the department of Bioengineering at Stanford University. As a graduate student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology my research focused on prefrontal neurophysiology of working memory and executive control. I came to Stanford to further my training in optogenetics and rodent neurophysiology. Using these techniques I have been studying prefrontal control of neuromodulatory systems in motivated behavior.
