We are inspired by the transition from an era of DNA reading – our ability to sequence genomes at high throughput – to an era of DNA writing – our ability to create de novo genetic blueprints.

Our intent is to compose a future with a healthier environment, enriched food, and crops capable of withstanding a changing climate. The CPPG is currently comprised of nine laboratories across two colleges. These members are:

  • Shaun Curtin (USDA-ARS PSRU)

  • Kathleen Greenham (CBS- PMB)

  • Shahryar Kianian (USDA-ARS CDL)

  • Ivan Radin (CBS- PMB)

  • Michael Smanski (CBS- BMBB)

  • Nathan Springer (CBS-PMB)

  • Robert Stupar (CFANS- Agronomy)

  • Dan Voytas (CBS-GCD)

  • Feng Zhang (CBS-PMB)
