The Truong Laboratory develops technologies to write and program the human genome at scale, treating it as a substrate for composing cellular behaviors. Using genome writing technologies, we engineer synthetic DNA at the scale of hundreds of kilobases to build and study complex genetic architectures in human cells.
​
These capabilities enable the construction of sophisticated cellular programs, where cells can be designed to sense, process, and respond to their environments. We implement these systems in human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), a renewable starting point for generating diverse cell types, including immune and neural cells.
Our long-term goal is to define the principles governing
genome organization and cellular function, and to
establish a framework — a “language” —
for programming human cells.​
Make better, safer and more accessible cell therapies and regenerative medicines by manipulating the genome.
