| Molecular engineering uses gene, RNA, protein, enzyme and small molecule manipulation as an approach to understanding macromolecular structure and function to manipulate how proteins and cells function in order to design better therapies; and to manipulate the operation of molecular networks and consequently cellular behavior by integrating novel molecular design strategies.
Applications include controlling cell responses, engineering novel therapeutics, generating molecular devices for use in synthetic biology, and developing new imaging agents that can be used to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of disease in living cells and/or subjects. |
