Building life from the bottom up: engineering artificial cells, Pdu microcompartment proteins, and computational tools for synthetic biology.
Research
Synthetic Biology
Engineering minimal living systems from lipid vesicles and purified molecular machinery. Reconstituting gene expression, metabolism, and division inside synthetic membrane compartments to understand the fundamental principles of life.
Protein Engineering
Engineering bacterial microcompartment shell proteins from the Pdu system to create synthetic nanopores. Combining computational docking and molecular dynamics to design protein-membrane interfaces for controlled transport.
Projects
Resources
Upload plate reader data and visualize absorption or fluorescence curves. Built for the DTE and Kamat labs.
LiveEnter technical replicates (mean, SD, n) and compute the pooled biological replicate. Paste directly from Excel or Prism; copy results back out.
Microscopy Gallery
Drop images or videos into assets/gallery/ — .tif, .jpg, .mp4, .mov
Music
Original compositions alongside cello performance. The name @cellobuilder is a metaphor: building music the way an engineer builds systems, from first principles.
