Chatterjee Lab
The Programmable Biology Group
We integrate algorithms and experiments to generate
programmable platforms for genome, proteome, and cell engineering.
Our Research
Expansive Genome Editing
Our mission is to enable CRISPR-mediated editing of any DNA sequence -- to cure genetic diseases, grow better crops, develop new bioenergy solutions, and enhance scientific applications of genome editing. To do this, we employ diverse computational methods, such as bioinformatics, machine learning, and structure-based modeling, to engineer robust Cas9 enzymes. Our current set of enzymes, including ScCas9, Sc++, iSpyMac, and now SpRYc, represent some of the broadest, safest, and most effective RNA-guided genome editors, to date.
Our Team
We program biology to do what we want.
