How do biological networks maintain tight regulation of variables while being subjected to an onslaught of perturbations?
We establish simple universal principles for maximal robust adaptation in all biomolecular systems.

New preprint: Engineering Cybergenetic Cell-Based Therapies
We introduce a control framework for closed-loop cell therapies: engineered human cells that sense disease signals, compute control actions, and autonomously regulate therapeutic output.

Are you looking for a versatile and inexpensive illumination platform for optogenetics experiments?
Check out our new DIYA device... It's become the most popular platform in our lab for bacterial, yeast and mammalian optogenetics.
