Caleb Bashor

Caleb Bashor received his Ph.D from the University of California at San Francisco, where he used synthetic biology approaches to study scaffold-mediated signal transduction in the yeast mating pathway. As a postdoctoral fellow at MIT, he developed engineering grammar for constructing both transcriptional and signal transduction circuits in mammalian cells. He started a research group at Rice in 2018 in the department of Bioengineering, which focuses on using synthetic regulatory circuitry to engineer new cell-based applications in human cells.
