Densmore, Hariri Junior Fellow, Joins Expert Team in New Biological Design Center
Doug Densmore, an ENG electrical and computer engineering associate professor and a Junior Faculty Fellow with the Hariri Institute for Computing will be one of several core faculty members of the newly launched Biological Design Center (BioDesign Center). The center will tinker in pursuit of cutting-edge questions like these: How do you guide cells to regenerate and build new tissue? How do you reprogram bacteria to fight infection—or reengineer the body’s immune system to attack tumors so they disappear? How do you organize the circuitry inside a cell so it sends all the right signals for optimal health?
