A new approach to controlling gene expression in microbial populations

The ability to control gene expression across a wide range is crucial for many fields, including bioengineering, disease detection, and environmental monitoring. Research led by Lingchong You, Ph.D., professor of biomedical engineering and molecular genetics and microbiology, developed a system to better regulate gene expression that could be applied to biosensors, toxin production, and metabolic pathway regulation. The ability to control gene expression across a wide range is crucial for many fields, including bioengineering, disease detection, and environmental monitoring.
