Title: Engineered Microbes for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Disease
Advances in synthetic biology have given rise to opportunities to
use bacteria to sense and respond to human disease. In this
seminar I will highlight two projects in my laboratory that use
different platforms to sense and/or deliver therapeutics for the
amelioration of colitis and automimmune diseases. I will share
insights into how each platform performs and detail some of the
unexpected findings that have emerged from delivering
therapeutics to the gut via engineered microbes.
