Inability to Program Complex Organisms and Developmental Pathways

Create integrated platforms that allow for real-time monitoring, modeling and precise manipulation of developmental processes, including with bioelectric and other novel control layers.  Goals could include: Genome encoding of symmetry (e.g. 2 to 8-fold radial), accurate size ratios, Branching pattern codes, Natural & synbio eutely and other counting mechanisms

Develop advanced technologies to facilitate genetic manipulation in plants, broadening the range of programmable organisms. 

Decode the molecular signals governing how cells communicate and organize to form complex 3D structures, a fundamental process in tissue formation, organ development, immune cell targeting, etc.
