Emphasis:

The emphasis is on the development of cellular and multicellular technologies and associated computational models for biomedical intervention. 

Projects might focus on:

• elucidating important engineering design rules or key foundational principles underlying future engineering, including the use of computational methods
• prototyping or redesigning platform technologies
• characterizing (in vitro, ex vivo, or in vivo) broadly applicable technologies and prototypes

NIBIB interests include but are not limited to: 

• synthetic genetic circuits for cellular control and decision-making
• engineered bacteria for microbiome regulation
• engineered T-cells for immune regulation and cancer therapy
• organoids and scaffold-free tissue assemblies for replacing organ function
