With a new DARPA contract, biological engineer Christopher Voigt aims to harness the power of living cells. “This is the century of genetic engineering,” says MIT Professor Christopher Voigt. “There are applications from new materials to pharmaceuticals to chemicals, agriculture — essentially, anything you see biology in nature doing.”.
Jan 10, 2020 · “The Voigt lab is invested in moving this research forward in order to get ever closer to the dream of creating nitrogen-fixing cereal crops,“ says Chris Voigt. With these milestones under their belt, these researchers have made great advances, and will continue to push torward the realization of this transformative vision, one that could revolutionize cereal production globally.
Feb 21, 2012 · Voigt, who is co-directing MIT’s new Synthetic Biology Center, is now working on building larger, highly interconnected systems that include sensors and circuits that can respond to sensors’ input. “Right now we’re integrating components into an individual cell. One of the problems with that is getting all of the pieces to interact with ...
