Rogelio A. Hernández-López
Assistant Professor of Bioengineering and of Genetics
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur group works at the interface of mechanistic, synthetic, and systems biology to understand and program cellular recognition, communication, and organization. We are currently interested in engineering biomedical relevant cellular behaviors for cancer immunotherapy.

Vayu Hill-Maini
Assistant Professor of Bioengineering
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWe study filamentous fungi, a diverse group of organisms that includes molds and mushrooms and are critical for a sustainable future. These organisms not only serve global roles in nutrient cycling, plant resilience, and agriculture, but have immense biotechnological potential for sustainable foods, medicines, enzymes, and materials. However, our ability to precisely manipulate fungal and metabolism and structure is still in its infancy, preventing both fundamental research and engineering efforts. Our lab integrates approaches from synthetic biology, biochemistry, and gastronomy to characterize and engineer fungi for food and sustainability applications, including creating new delicious, nutritious foods from readily available waste.
