After a PhD studying cell division at the University of Montpellier, Jerome Bonnet joined Drew Endy’s lab at Stanford University to work in the field of synthetic biology, the rational engineering of novel biological systems and functions. There, he engineered genetically encoded data storage systems and amplifying logic gates operating in living cells using recombinase driven DNA switches. Since January 2014, he’s a group leader at the Centre de Biochimie Structurale in Montpellier, France, working on the engineering of cellular computers to improve human health, with a focus on engineering non-pathogenic bacteria for the in vitro diagnostics of disease.
