The paper develops T-SWITCH, a synthetic genetic switch that tracks T-DNA delivery and integration in plants, enabling integration-free genome editing.

This paper demonstrates the use of non-canonical amino acids to enable plant-directed control of bacterial activity in soil.

This paper designs synthetic genetic circuits to control gene expression in plant roots, enabling predictable changes in root structure.

The paper identifies gut microbiome biomarkers associated with T2D progression in a Mexican cohort and shows metformin treatment reverses these changes.
