Our researchers are developing and using cell-free extracts and in vitro technologies. These systems are ideal for gene expression and protein production.
Recent technical advances in preparing cell-free extracts have given rise to a new class of gene expression systems. These systems are highly efficient, low cost and easy to transport. They have huge potential benefits for a wide variety of diagnostics, sensors, vaccines and research materials.
Cell-free and in vitro technologies are a topic of growing interest to many groups in Cambridge.
