Current Research Interests

In the summer of 2011, Dr. Laurie Heyer and I worked with 7 Davidson students and two high school students. This group decided to revisit the Hamiltonian Path Problem (HPP) but with a different technique of constructing the DNA-encoded problems. This team of biologists and mathematicians adapted the Golden Gate Assembly (GGA) method to build multiple HPPs in a single reaction. This project is still a work in progress in the lab. The key to GGA is a collection of type IIs restriction enzymes. In addition to this basic synthetic biology research project, the two high school students helped me develop a new teaching lab that focused on the emergent property exhibited by slime mold. Their work included the production of a mathematical model (called Slime-U-Lator) that describes the refractory period when cells are streaming.
In addtion to the HPP project, Leland was pursuing his CIS major in computational genomics. He was the sole investigator on his phage assembly suite and tutorial project (PHAST). He focused on the national Phage Hunters project funded by HHMI.
Finally, Eric was making significant progress on finishing our 2009 SAT project. Eric hopes to start writing a manuscript for publication in the near future.

Summer 2011 students: (front) Julia, Tori, Lilly, Pooja; (middle) James, Dr. Heyer, Catherine; (back) Leland, Eric, Duke, Dr. Campbell.
Photo was taken on "Hawaiian Shirt Friday", a tradition in the town of Davidson.

My students conduct research in field of synthetic biology, which is summarized on our iGEM lab page. During the summer of 2010, a group of 9 students at Davidson College and a similar number of students at MWSU collaborated to tackle the knapsack problem. For their work, the students were awarded a gold medal, the highest level of team participation. They also developed a new web tool (the Oligator) for producing new dsDNA fragments from overlapping oligos.

Summer 2010 students (counter clockwise): Anvi, Jamela, Stephen, Linda (German visiting student), Drs. Campbell and Heyer, Katie, Steph, Tom, Tori (Woodlawn rising junior in high school), Eugene, Nitya, Keila (NC A&T visiting student)
I have a few related student projects underway as part of our NSF-funded grant Synthetic Biology Research for Undergraduate (SyBR-U). We enjoy interactions between math and biology during our BioMath Connections video conference with collaborators at Missouri Western State University.
You can see over 500 news articles and blog postings summarizing our 2009 publication in synthetic biology based on our iGEM2007 project solving the Hamiltonian Path Problem. You can also watch a local TV interview. This newest paper had over 20,000 downloads in the first month. This paper was paper of the year 2009 for the Journal of Biological Engineering in 2009. It has the most hits of any paper in the journal's history. The number two paper in the journal's history was our 2008 publication on the burnt pancake problem which was paper of the year in 2008.

The Davidson College/Missouri Western State University collaborative team spent the summer of 2009 is designing and building a bacterial computer to solve a category of mathematical problems called satisfyability problmes, or SAT problems. The team earned a gold medal at the 2009 iGEM hosted at MIT.

Davidson College iGEM 2009 students: Shashank, Olivia, Shamita, Romina, Alyndria, Annie, Leland.

The Davidson College/Missouri Western State University collaborative team worked on a bacterial hash function. For their efforts, the team won a gold medal at the 2008 iGEM competition.

Two seniors from the class of 2009 conducted research with me. Samantha Simpson was a genomics major through the Center of Interdisciplinary Studies. Will DeLoache was a biology major who graduated with Honors in Biology.

Samantha and Will, class of 2009

Samantha's research focused on regulating induced competence to make bacterial transformation less complicated. You can read her thesis and see her PPT presentation. You also can learn about Samantha's discoveries related to the relative strengths of different ribosomal binding sites.
Will continued our iGEM 2008 project by working to produce a DNA-based XOR logic gate. You can read his thesis here. You can also download or view his development of a time-delayed growth for E. coli and his documentation of cross-talk between Lux and Las quorum sensing mechanisms.

This part allows transcription to be regulated by the concentration of the amino acid tryptophan.

Erin Zwack designed modified anti-switches for E. coli to regulate protein production at the translation step.

For the iGEM2007 team, 6 students worked at Davidson College (Oyinade Adefuye {NCCU student}, Will DeLoache, Jim Dickson, Andrew Martens, Amber Shoecraft {JCSU student}, and Mike Waters) worked in collaboration with students at Missouri Western State University to design and built a bacterial computer that could solve the Hamiltonian Path Problem: given a directed graph (see below), is it possible to visit every node exactly once when starting and stopping at particular nodes? You can read the news summary here.
- In the summer of 2006, 3 students (Erin, Sabriya, and Lance) began an exciting new project to construct an E. coli computer. You can read more about their work from the Davidson team's wiki page or viewing their iGEM 2006 presentation. The key was to integrate biology and mathematics. This project will continue in the fall of 2006 when Samantha and Karmella continue the summer work as we prepare for the 2006 iGEM competition at MIT along with our collaborators at Missouri Western State University. One product of the summer was a new web site that helps investigators synthesize short genes from a series of oligos. The web site, created by Lance, facilitates choosing the right oligos to make. Davidson won prizes in 4 categories at the 2006 iGEM competion. You can read a summary of their successes here. During the sprin semester, Karen Acker inserted Hix sites inside GFP and TetA(C) genes [read her paper] Bruce Henschen produced Hix sites that would allow only one flip [read his paper].

Jackie Ryan '06 developed student friendly protocols for performing comparative genome hybridization experiments. This method uses labeled genomic DNA from two different strains as probes on a yeast DNA microarray. Most spots will be yellow, but aneuploidy (duplicated or deleted DNA) will appear as either red or green spots on a microarray. This work will be continued using evolved strains of yeast induced to undergo aneuploidy by selection under limited glucose.

Matt Gemberling '06 has designed and built antiswitches to determine if this new method for regulating eukaryotic translation can be adapted for use in E. coli. Matt's work was part of a larger project in synthetic biology composed of six students (the Synth-Aces) who competed in iGEM2005 at MIT.

Laurie Heyer's students continue to improve the free software for DNA microarray data processing and analysis. This software is called MAGIC Tool (MicroArray Genomic Imaging and Clustering) and works on all computer platforms.

For the 2004-2005 year, Megan McDonald will continue her biophysics major research in collaboration with Dr. Dan Boye of the Davidson Physics Dept. Megan is using optical tweezers to determine the physical topology of DNA printed on glass slides. I am also beginning a project to simplify the DNA microarray protocol enough for high school students to perform exercises that introduce them to the methodology.

In 2003-2004, Gray Lyons completed his honors research project. The lab work was performed at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.Danielle Choi performed two pilot studies with DNA microarrays. In collaboration with Dr. Jef Boeke at Johns Hopkins University, she produced the first yeast bar code DNA microarrays printed on glass slides and worked out hybridization conditions for the probes. She also produced microbial identification DNA microarrays in collaboration with Dr. Brad Goodner at Hiram College. I also helped produce an animation on DNA microarrays.

During 2002-2003, Emily Oldham, John Kogoy and Dan Pierce conducted research in my lab. Emily and Dan worked on improving the signal to noise ratio of DNA microarrays. John conducted some preliminary studies in proteomics.

In the 2001-2002 academic year, Emily Oldham began her genomics concentration through Davidson's Center for Interdisciplinary Studies under the guidance of Laurie Heyer and me. Laurie and I also finished the genomics textbook writing project.

I spent my sabbatical at the University of Washington in Seattle and the Institute for Systems Biology to genomics and develop a course for undergraduates, during the 2000-2001 academic year, . This new course in genomics for undergraduates was offered for the first time during the fall of 2001. Furthermore, I have created a new non-profit educational consortium called the Genome Consortium for Active Teaching (GCAT). GCAT is dedicated to bringing genomic methods into the undergraduate laboratory curriculum at a reasonable cost.
During the 1999-2000 academic year, one of my honors students will be conducting research in the new and very exciting field of bioinformatics. Rahul Karnik '00 is a Biology major and is also working on a concentration in computer sciences. For the summer of 1999, he worked at TIGR (The Institute for Genomic Research) in Maryland. He is currently working at a pharmaceutical company as the link between the biologists and the computer scientists.
I have been conducting research to improve teaching methods. I work with students and use the web to improve the quality of my lecture and lab curricula. The web provides a medium for presenting visual information that cannot be presented any other way.

One student conducted her honors research to develop a project-based semester long laboratory course for Molecular Biology.
I have also redesigned my Molecular Biology curriculum, and as well as Introductory Biology.
I have developed interactive animations and image maps for teaching immunology. For this, I have created "Molecular Movies" and "Hyperlinked Human Histology".

For several years, we have been examining proteins involved in mating of the unicellular green alga called Chlamydomonas. We have generated two mutant strains (iso1 and pmh1 ) that display abnormal mating phenotypes. Several Davidson College students have helped identify the molecular cause for the pmh1 mutation and this work is being submitted for publication (see virtual posters below).
Another area of interest in my lab has been the purification and characterization of NADP⁺-dependent enzymes from Chlamydomonas (click here for a list of examples).This work has been conducted in collaboration with Dr. John Williamson, also in the Biology Dept. We have had several student conduct research in this area.
During the 1998-99 academic year, one of my students wanted to isolate the protein(s) that bind to a new drug being tested for use in treating Alzheimer's disease. His honors thesis research involved Dr. Brown of the Chemistry Dept., as well as Dr. Williamson and me. This new area of investigation was awarded first prize at the Collegiate Academy of the North Carolina Academy of Sciences 1999 annual meeting.
