A New Faculty Member in the Family – Melissa Takahashi to Join Cal State Northridge!

Welcome Professor Takahashi to Cal State Northridge! The Takahashi lab will focus on uncovering principles of RNA regulation in bacteria and make new tools for engineering bacteria and antimicrobials.

For a blast from the past, Melissa was formative in many the investigations into RNA gene regulation when the lab was itself in its nascent state:

• Melissa and David Join the Lab (2010)
• Melissa wrote the lab’s first paper (2013).
• The Lab at the first Gordon Conference on Synthetic Biology (2013)
• STARs are born (2015)
• Getting RNA to work in TX-TL.
