BioJADE : a design and simulation tool for synthetic biological systems
The next generations of both biological engineering and computer engineering demand that control be exerted at the molecular level. Creating, characterizing and controlling synthetic biological systems may provide us with the ability to build cells that are capable of a plethora of activities, from …

Genetically programmable pathogen sense and destroy/
Twenty five percent of all the deaths worldwide are caused by infectious diseases. They are also the biggest cause of mortality among children under five years of age. Among them diarrheal diseases alone cause as many deaths as AIDS or TB and malaria combined. Also up to 80% of traveler's diarrhea …

Expansion microscopy : scalable and multiplexed nanoscale imaging
Microscopy has facilitated the discovery of many biological insights by optically magnifying small structures in cells and tissues. However, the resolution of optical microscopy is limited by the diffraction of light to ~200-300 nm, comparable or larger to the size of many subcellular structures. …
