Work in the Ngo Laboratory applies the principles of evolution, chemistry, and engineering to develop new tools for measuring, visualizing, and controlling biomolecules in living cells and organisms. The goal of our work is to develop novel technologies that enable discovery, and to apply those tools to reveal new insights into cellular function and disease. […]

We develop theoretical approaches and computational models for the study of complex biological networks. We are especially interested in the dynamics and evolution of metabolism, whose complex web of small-molecule transformations underlies fundamental aspects of biological organization, from energy transduction to cell-cell communication. In addition to helping understand how biological systems function and evolve, we […]

The Vegas group pursues general and systematic approaches to developing targeted therapeutic carriers for the treatment of multiple human diseases. Small-molecule drugs excel at altering disease states at the cellular level, but their therapeutic benefits are often hindered by physiological barriers that impact their toxicity, efficacy, and distribution. The ability to overcome these barriers can […]

Our ability to observe biological systems has advanced dramatically over the past decades. However, our ability to modulate and control biology, especially through genetic means, has been lagging. Even with the recent developments in genome editing, we cannot still dynamically regulate cell functions, especially in complex living multicellular organisms such as mammals, with independent control […]
