Our lab is part of a new project to support large scale developement of biocomputing technologies, jointly funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Semiconductor Research Corporation (SRC).
synthetic cells in space!
Our synthetic cell experiment launched today at NASA Wallops!
The take off was luckily uneventfull, we’re excited to start analyzing data now.
