He is the Director of the UCSF/UCB NIH Nanomedicine development center and director of the SynBERC. He earned his A.B. in Chemistry from Harvard University and his Ph.D in biochemistry and biophysics from Massachusetts Institute of Technology under the guidance of Bob Sauer.[2] He then did his postdoctoral work with Frederic Richards at Yale University.[3] During his postdoctoral work, he began to think about signal transduction and methods to evolve the module components of the proteins.[4]
His lab now focuses on constructing cell signaling systems from modular components to both study and engineer these systems. He also serves as a mentor in the International Genetically Engineered Machine competition. He has been an investigator with the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) since 2008.
