JHU.

Johns Hopkins University

Our Project (in a sentence)...We are engineering Saccharomyces cerevisiae to be voltage-sensitive at the transcriptional level.
Our Team...We are a team of 9 undergraduate students deeply interested in synthetic biology. We hail from a variety of disciplines including, chemistry, biology and engineering. We’re a fresh new team with varying levels of experience united by our passion for science.
