New faculty member Emma Chory combines evolution, cellular engineering and robotics to advance basic science and identify new targets for cancer therapies
Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a robotic platform to speed up directed evolution of molecules in the lab.
Scientists at MIT have developed a robotic platform that can perform 100 times as many directed-evolution experiments in parallel.
Natural evolution is a slow process that relies on the gradual accumulation of genetic mutations. In recent years, scientists have found ways to speed up
A new robotic platform can speed up directed evolution more than 100-fold, and allows hundreds of evolving populations to be monitored at the same time. The work was led by Kevin Esvelt and colleagues at the MIT Media Lab.
