Areas of Interest

The Green lab pursues interdisciplinary research in areas spanning synthetic biology, diagnostics, and nanotechnology. We use in silico tools to design RNA molecules from scratch that respond to stimuli and execute biomolecular programs in living cells. For diagnostics, we engineer nucleic acids that sense and amplify molecular cues to develop assays that are portable, low cost, and easy to use. We also study the synthesis of self-assembled nanostructures and nanomaterials, and explore their applications as catalysts and antimicrobial agents.
