Research Videos

Below are 3 videos that highlight our findings and illustrate our approaches using tissue cultures, synthetic biology, and analytical chemistry:

  1. Prof. Carolyn Lee-Parsons sharing two stories to illustrate our findings and our approaches
  2. Ms. Amanda Dee, Bioengineering Major, on developing synthetic biology tools for engineering plant tissue cultures.
  3. Ms. Charlotte Leggett and Mr. Joshua Garvey, Chemistry & Chemical Biology Majors, on identifying medicinal alkaloids produced in CRISPR-Cas9 edited cultures through mass spectrometry.

Many thanks for funding and support from the National Science Foundation, the MA Acorn Grant, the Mass Clean Energy Catalyst Grant, Northeastern Tier I and GapFund 360 Grants.
