This week, C-GEM’s seminar series, GEM-inar, featured Dr. Ahmed Badran from Scripps Research Institute. Dr. Badran provided insight into the research his lab is doing in optimizing each element of the genetic code expansion machinery. Sign up for our mailing list to be notified of our GEM-inars.
From Scripps: “Badran’s major research interests include engineering and deployment of carbon-capturing enzymes to address climate change; discovery and optimization of pathogen-specific antimicrobials to curb widespread bacterial resistance; development of new-to-nature catalysts that bridge the scope of synthetic chemistry transformations with programmability of biology; and pioneering novel bioactive modalities to therapeutically intervene in diverse disease states.”
