PFASense: Fast, In-Field Testing for Forever Chemicals
PFASense is a next-generation diagnostic tool designed to detect toxic ‘forever chemicals’ directly at the source. By combining engineered protein sensors with a portable electrochemical device, it enables real-time, low-cost monitoring of water supplies—providing actionable insights to protect health and guide remediation. -
GC Therapeutics: Changing the Future of Cell Therapies
GC Therapeutics (GCTx) is applying their stem cell-engineering TFome platform to overcome barriers in the development and manufacturing of cell therapies to improve patient access across a broad range of disease areas. -
Instrument-Free Molecular Diagnostics
A synthetic biology-based molecular diagnostics platform that enables the creation of low-cost, highly accurate tests for non-clinical settings. -
AminoX: Making Better Protein Drugs, Quicker and Cheaper
AminoX enables protein drugs to only become active in the tumor microenvironment and not elsewhere in the body to avoid immune-related adverse effects in the body. By designing and building non-standard amino acids into strategic positions of protein drugs, AminoX provides tumor-specific, and longer-lasting target inhibition. -
Engineered Live Biotherapeutic Product (eLBP) to Protect the Microbiome from Antibiotics
eLBP is a safe and cost-effective therapeutic for patients treated with beta-lactam antibiotics that safeguards against the loss of health-essential microbes while preventing the development and spread of antibiotic resistance. -
Ichor: Reversing Aging
Ichor is addressing multiple age-related diseases by identifying genetic interventions that reprogram old cells to a younger state. Therapies based on these interventions could improve survival for cancer patients and long-term cardiovascular and neurological health.

Video/AnimationEngineering Living Materials with Peter Q. NguyenIn this episode of the CoreSpin Podcast Interview Series, host Misha Bagirov sits down with Wyss Senior Scientist Peter Q. Nguyen, Ph.D., to explore how synthetic biology can turn biofilms into useful materials, embed cell-free systems into wearables (like COVID-sensing masks), and program probiotics as future therapeutics. We also talked about the philosophy behind bioengineering,... -
Video/AnimationGeorge Church: Embracing Outliers in Science and in LifeGeorge Church, Ph.D., is a Core Faculty member at the Wyss Institute and a genetics professor at Harvard Medical School.

Audio/PodcastSeqVerify: A New Easily Accessible Tool for Comprehensive Cell Line Quality Assessment – The Stem Cell ReportDuring the last decade, advances in genome editing and pluripotent stem cell (PSC) culture have let researchers generate edited PSC lines to study a wide variety of biological questions. However, abnormalities in cell lines such as aneuploidy, mutations, on-target and off-target editing errors, and microbial contamination can arise during PSC culture or due to undesired...
