Our aim:
'To design and characterise a toehold switch with potential to detect any given RNA sequence. Our immediate target is the detection M. bovis RNA in a safe, low-tech and cost-effective manner'
We are open to collaborations and would love to hear about other projects! The main themes we are working on are:
- Riboswitches (specifically toehold switches)
- Diagnostic testing for disease
- Tuberculosis in UK cattle
- Cell-free systems
