Welcome to Trinh Lab's website! |
| Trinh’s research interests span systems and synthetic biology, artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML), metabolic engineering, biochemical engineering, and microbial and viral physiology. His research aims to advance the fundamental understanding of complex cellular systems and to develop novel experimental and computational tools to control these systems for biotechnological applications, organized into three research thrusts. Thrust 1 is to develop the transformative ModCell (Modular Cell) technology, to engineer modular (chassis) cells for predictive and scalable biomanufacturing. Thrust 2 is to develop the transformative ViPaRe (Virulent Pathogen Resistance) technology to effectively combat multidrug-resistant pathogens. Thrust 3 is to understand the mechanisms of cellular robustness against environmental and genetic stressors and develop effective strategies to boost cellular robustness for applications ranging from disease prevention to novel biocatalysis. Trinh serves as the PI on both individual and collaborative funded projects, including the NSF CAREER award for the development of ModCell technology, DARPA’s FYA and Director Fellowship awards for the development of ViPaRe technology, and several NSF, DoD, and DOE awards to understand and harness cellular robustness. |
