Senior🎓
Top SchoolHoward Salis is a professor and synthetic biology entrepreneur with over 16 years of experience advancing predictive, biophysical models of gene expression and genetic circuit design. He founded De Novo DNA to translate his lab’s algorithms into user-friendly web tools that thousands of researchers use to rationally design DNA and optimize metabolic pathways. His academic career spans postdoctoral work at UCSF to faculty roles at Penn State and UC Riverside, where his group quantifies how organisms decode DNA to both engineer novel functions and illuminate natural biology. Beyond publications, his translation-focused approach has produced licensed methods and a commercial spin-off, reflecting a rare combination of rigorous modeling, experimental validation, and productization in synthetic biology.
