Julius B. Lucks is Associate Professor of Chemical and Biological Engineering at Northwestern University. Research in the Lucks group combines both experiment and theory to ask fundamental questions about the design principles that govern how RNAs fold and function in living organisms, how these principles can be used to engineer biomolecular systems, and recently how they can open doors to new low-cost cell-free synthetic biology diagnostics. For his research, Professor Lucks has been recognized with a number of awards including a DARPA Young Faculty Award, an Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Research Fellowship, an ONR Young Investigator Award, an NIH New Innovator Award, an NSF CAREER award, the ACS Synthetic Biology Young Investigator Award, and most recently a Camille-Dreyfus Teacher Scholar Award. He is a founding member of the Engineering Biology Research Consortium, and together with Jeff Tabor and others he co-founded the Cold Spring Harbor Synthetic Biology Summer Course. Please visit http://luckslab.org for more information. Jeff Tabor received his Ph.D. in molecular biology from the University of Texas at Austin in 2006. There, he studied synthetic biology with Andy Ellington and was a member of the team that invented bacterial photography. He went on to study synthetic biology as a postdoctoral NIH Postdoctoral Fellow with Chris Voigt, where he worked on bacterial optogenetics and engineering multicellular interactions. He started his laboratory in the Bioengineering Department at Rice University in 2010, where he has focused on advancing bacterial optogenetics for dynamical signaling processes and engineering bacterial two-component systems for basic science, and medical and environmental biosensing applications. His work has been recognized by NSF CAREER and ONR Young Investigator awards, among others.
