Matthew Lebovich, NIH Trainee 2018-2020
Program: Chemical Engineering
Lab: Lauren Andrews, PhD.
Research Interests: My research aims to engineer genetic circuits in probiotic bacteria for improved diagnosis and treatment of inflammatory bowel diseases. By characterizing repressor-based logic gates under gut-like conditions, it seeks to develop probiotics that detect disease markers, record signals, and deliver targeted therapies.
