The Kamariza Lab
From biological discovery to molecular technologies that improve human health.
The Kamariza Lab combines scientific discovery with molecular innovation. We develop chemical probes, programmable CRISPR and RNA technologies, and other molecular tools to uncover biological mechanisms and translate mechanistic insights into new technologies. Our work spans fundamental biology, molecular engineering, and the development of accessible diagnostics for infectious diseases, with broader applications across human health. Our interdisciplinary research draws from chemical biology, synthetic biology, microbiology, biochemistry, and bioengineering.
