<p>Our group creates novel biological systems that perform customized, sophisticated functions for applications in biotechnology and medicine. Using the tools of synthetic biology, protein and biomolecule engineering, systems biology, and gene therapy, we develop technologies for manipulating and coordinating complex multicellular functions. A central area of interest for our group is controlling the function of a complex biological network - the human immune system – by engineering novel biomolecules and programmable cell-based “devices” to create novel, customized immune functions. By enabling clinicians to modify local immune responses in a patient- and disease-specific fashion, we are overcoming barriers to treatment for conditions ranging from cancer and chronic infections to autoimmune disease and transplant rejection.</p>

<p>Our research aims to engineer biological systems for compelling applications in medicine and biotechnology. We focus on cell-free systems, with particular emphasis on protein synthesis and metabolism. Engineering cell-free systems both tests our understanding of how life works and generates useful, cost-effective factories for manufacturing human therapeutics and valuable biochemicals that are difficult to make in vivo. Our approach is to integrate fundamental research and engineering design principles with technology development.</p>
+
-
        <p>Our interdisciplinary efforts take advantage of synergies at the crossroads of biological and engineering science. They represent a bottom-up approach to synthetic biology. The key idea is that design and construction of biological systems will become easier and more reliable if we can develop foundational technologies that partition biology into simple modular pieces that we can directly manipulate and control. To this end, it is desirable to reduce the complexity of existing biological systems and remove unnecessary overhead (e.g. unnecessary genes and evolutionary baggage). Cell-free systems, which are decoupled from the genetic architecture of the cell, offer a unique platform to address this need. They reduce complexity, lack structural boundaries, are free from cell viability constraints, and can direct catalytic resources towards a single objective.  As a result, cell-free systems promise to catalyze a new paradigm for studying, tuning, and controlling life. <a href="#">link</a></p>

<p><strong>What we do</strong></p>
+
-
<p>Microbes must cope with harsh, rapidly changing environments to survive. To do this, microbes have developed sophisticated mechanisms to (a) sense the changes in the environment, and (b) respond quickly to these changes to protect itself from harm or capitalize on an opportunity. Our lab seeks to rewire these fundamental input/output relationships to program cells to do useful things for mankind in a paradigm called synthetic biology. Inputs: We study methods to modify existing environmental detection sensors in yeast and modify them to detect new analytes. Outputs: We investigate ways microbes modify their metabolic networks and use these modifications to increase production of a given metabolite.</p>

-
<p><strong>Why we do it</strong></p>
+
<div class="col-md-3">
-
<p>Synthetic biology offers a disruptive technology that has vast potential to impact the most important facets of our lives. The way we diagnose diseases, the drugs we use, the fuels we put in our cars, the plastic that is used in our potato chip bag - we have the opportunity to improve the sustainability of our lifestyle. And by reducing costs, we can make aspects of our lifestyle available to those who could not otherwise afford it. We hope to offer technical contributions that, simply put, make the world a better place.<a href="#">link</a></p>

Team

Meet the team!

Tiffany Kwakwa
Tiffany Kwakwa

Tiffany loves french fries and the colors pink and sea foam green. She is a rising junior studying Environmental Engineering and how to recycle and reuse everything. In her spare time she can be found in bakeries or drinking tea.

Kristi Lui
Kristi Lui

Kristi has an odd sense of humor and is basically the wild child. When not pipetting, she’s usually watching one of many TV shows (but mainly Dexter) or studying for the MCAT.

Mitch Perkins
Mitch Perkins

Mitch is a potential Anthropology major, but currently focusing on Biology. Constantly greeting team members with a “Yo!” and sharing pictures of his dog, there is no one else as chill, except maybe the -80 fridge.

Sharon Chen
Sharon Chen

When not studying for the MCAT, Sharon is in the lab or sleeping. Mainly sleeping. A rising senior Art History and Biology major, she loves cherries and expensive oatmeal.

David Lee
David Lee

David is a rising star who has also risen into our hearts with his wit and charm. The other departments are jealous that he chose Biomedical Engineering. His only vice is his addiction to Game of Thrones, finishing 10 episodes in one night after returning from a day at the lab.

Adam Baker
Adam Baker

Adam is a bassist and speed reader, going through multiple books in one sitting as well as the technical papers related to our project. He’s a rising junior Chemical Engineer who we fall back on for knowledge and fact recollection.

Abdullah Memon
Abdullah Memon

Abdullah has been graced with the gift of amazing handwriting and tasteful quips. He’s a rising junior on a pre-med track to saving lives and making fat stacks.

Meet the advisors!

Dr. Josh Leonard Assistant Professor of Chemical and Biological Engineering
Dr. Mike Jewett Assistant Professor of Chemical and Biological Engineering
Dr. Keith Tyo Assistant Professor of Chemical and Biological Engineering
Dr. John C Mordacq Distinguished Senior Lecturer of Biological Sciences at Northwestern University

Meet the grad students who helped us!

Will Bothfeld Tyo Lab

When there is a will, there is a way. Our biggest thank-you goes to our official TA of the summer!

Graduate Student in Chemical Engineering, Started 2012/University of Wisconsin – Madison, B.S. Biochemistry & Biology, 2010/Project: Experimental Metabolic Engineering

Karthik Sekar Tyo Lab

From navigating the iGEM parts page to using the plate reader, Karthik was with us every step of the way!

PhD Candidate in Chemical Engineering, Started 2010/University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, B.S. Biomedical Engineering, 2009/Project: Computational & Experimental Metabolic Engineering

Sarah Steinbrook Tyo Lab

Not only is Sarah super quick when replying our emergency "what to do" emails, she is also the master of troubleshooting - anything and everything - especially the elusive colony PCR.

Graduate Student in IBiS, Started 2014/Ohio University, B.S. Molecular Biology/Project: Signaling Engineering

Joe Muldoon Leonard Lab

Joe! Our beloved iGEM veteran, modeling guru, and let's-talk-math person! We will miss those meetings in the ChemE lab!

Interdisciplinary Biological Sciences Graduate Program (IBiS)/B.S. in Biology, B.S. in Chemistry, University of Virginia 2013/Research Interests: Systems and synthetic immunology and “knowing is half the battle.”

Andrew Younger Leonard Lab

Without Andrew's help, we would still be running a million gels a day and not knowing why nothing was showing up. No, he assured us that DNA was not suddenly positive. The buffer was wrong, that's all.

Interdisciplinary Biological Sciences Graduate Program (IBiS)/B.S. in Molecular Genetics, University of Rochester 2011/Research Interests: Bacterial Synthetic Biology, Metabolic engineering

Jian Li Jewett Lab

We cannot thank Jian enough for his guidance in growing S.rimosus and his kindness in letting us borrow chemicals.

B.S. Anhui Agricultural University (AAU), Hefei, China /Ph.D., TU Berlin/Project: in vitro protein synthesis

Rey Martin Jewett Lab

We love your passion for your work, your smile, and your enthusiasm when teaching us! Thank you for providing us with your spreadsheet and protocols! And thank you for giving us reagents to begin our research!

NSF Graduate Fellow, Ford Foundation Fellow/Chemical and Biological Engineering, B.S., UCLA/Project: Protein synthesis

Simon Yang iGEM 2013

Simon Yang is a master's student in biomedical engineering. He was also part of Northwestern's 2013 igem team.
