Research


The Nano-Cybernetic Biotrek (NCB) research group is an adventurous scientific voyage, fusing engineering, applied physics, and biology to bridge the gap between nanotechnology and synthetic biology. The group’s two major research directions are to :

The long-term goal of the group, going beyond probing and modulation, is to enable incorporation of functionalities, not otherwise allowed by biology, for enhancing and transcending us beyond our biological limitations. Please see below for research projects.
