about the lab

Jeff Hasty, Ph.D Principal Investigator
The UCSD Biodynamics Laboratory focuses on the use of engineering methods in the theoretical design and experimental construction of synthetic gene regulatory networks.

We operate the microscopy and microfludics cores of the BioCircuits Insitute, and are a charter member of the San Diego Center for Systems Biology.
