Employing organisms and biologically inspired systems to solve real-world problems has enormous potential for human health, renewable energy, and the environment. Synthetic biology also provides an alternative perspective from which to consider, analyze, and ultimately understand our living world. 21 2      Collins Lab, BU We are designing and constructing synthetic gene networks for a variety of biotechnology and bioenergy applications. We are also using engineered gene networks to study general principles underlying gene regulation. 24 3      OpenWetWare Labs Individual lab wikis on OpenWetWare. 15 4      OpenWetWare Groups Individual group wikis on OpenWetWare. 18 5      Haseloff Lab, Cambridge The application of Synthetic Biology to morphogenetic systems in plants. 15 6      Endy Lab, Stanford Drew Endy's lab site - engineering of genetically encoded memory systems - and a with long term interest in making biology easy to engineer. 2 7      Smolke Lab, Caltech/Stanford The Smolke Lab is interested in using a combination of interdisciplinary approaches to study complex gene regulatory networks and develop sophisticated gene expression technologies. 2 8      Arnold Lab, Caltech Research in the Arnold group at Caltech focuses on evolutionary design methods applied to biological systems — enzymes, metabolic pathways, genetic circuits and ecosystems — and using the results of laboratory evolution experiments to elucidate principles of biological design. 3 9      Fussenegger Lab, Zurich Martin Fussenegger's multinational biotechnology and bioengineering group is dedicated to high leverage research in the fields of antibiotic screening, tissue engineering, the development of viral vectors, gene regulation systems for gene therapy as well as biopharmaceutical manufacturing. 1 10      Silver Lab, Harvard Work in Pam Silver's lab focuses on engineering of eukaryote systems (both yeast and mammalian cells) and the construction of designer proteins. 2 11      Church Lab, Harvard George Church's group takes a wide variety of technically innovative approaches to engineer models for biomedical, biofuel & ecological systems. 2 12      Knight Lab, MIT A wide range of initiatives and data on Synthetic Biology from Tom Knight, father of the field. 2 13      Prather Lab, MIT Kristala Jones Prather Lab - design and assembly of recombinant microorganisms for the production of small molecules to build microbial chemical factories. 2 14      Weiss Lab, Princeton Ron Weiss' lab - where principles of computer logic form a basis for engineering microbial and mammalian cells. 2 15      Anderson Lab, Berkeley Chris Anderson's lab develops foundational technologies and applications for Synthetic Biology, a ground-up approach to genetic engineering. 3 16      Dueber Lab, Berkeley John Dueber's lab is using modular strategies in a forward engineering effort to rewire/reprogram metabolic pathways and two-component signaling. 2 17      Keasling Lab, Berkeley Jay Keasling's lab research is organized around three primary themes: synthetic biology, systems biology and environmental biotechnology for a wide range of bioproduction projects. 2 18      Lim Lab, UCSF Wendell Lim's lab works on engineering the logic of cell signaling systems. 3 19      Voigt Lab, UCSF Chris Voight's lab is developing methods for programming cells like robots to perform complex, coordinated tasks for pharmaceutical and industrial applications.
