The paper develops a biosensor using transcription factors and microcantilevers to detect water contaminants with high sensitivity and speed.

The paper introduces a cell-free biosensor signal amplification circuit called polymerase strand recycling (PSR) that enhances biosensor sensitivity for small molecule detection.

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 four cell-free biosensing modules for synthetic biology education that enable students to explore transcriptional regulation and environmental monitoring without lab equipment.

This paper develops DNA strand displacement circuits to enhance biosensors by enabling fine-tuning of reaction kinetics and faster response times, creating binary outputs that encode target molecule concentrations.

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.
