The paper develops and optimizes a one-pot NASBA-Cas13a assay for rapid, sensitive detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA without specialized equipment.

The paper develops an in cellulo assay to study Pol III transcription termination in human cells and identifies sequence and structural determinants for efficient termination.

A cell-free platform pairing T7 RNA polymerase, allosteric transcription factors and DNA templates yields fluorescent RNA output to detect antibiotics, small molecules and metals in water.

This paper develops a cell-free biosensor for detecting fluoride in water using a riboswitch that produces fluorescent or colorimetric signals, demonstrating its effectiveness in both lab and field settings.

This paper develops a portable, low-cost diagnostic system for detecting plant pathogens using synthetic biology and isothermal amplification with colorimetric output.

The paper designs computational methods to create STARs, RNA regulators that activate genes up to 9000-fold, and demonstrates their use in genetic circuits.
