I’ll be starting a lab as an Assistant Professor at Cornell @cornellengineering.bsky.social in 2026!
We’ll combine synthetic biology and materials science to engineer microbes into living materials & therapies.
We're recruiting PhD students & postdocs - please get in touch!

Encapsulated bacteria act as living sensors - detecting infection and releasing therapy on demand.
We used this system to functionalize prosthetic implants and autonomously treat infections in mice.

Living bacteria can make drugs in vivo but risk spreading.
Implantable materials deliver drugs locally but can’t sense or adapt.
We built a stiff, tough hydrogel that safely contains therapeutic bacteria for 6+ months and resists mechanical stress.

My postdoc work is now on bioRxiv!
We combined engineered bacteria and hydrogels to create implantable living materials that safely confine bacteria while letting them sense disease and release drugs from within.
