About
Teresa Davoli is a pioneering synthetic biologist whose research focuses on the design, assembly, and delivery of large-scale DNA constructs to unlock the functional study of mammalian genomes. Her major contributions center on overcoming the technical barriers to synthesizing and expressing genes of unprecedented size. In her landmark 2021 study, Davoli achieved the *de novo* assembly and functional delivery of a 101 kb human gene into mouse cells—a feat that demonstrated the transformative potential of bottom-up genomics for mammalian systems. This work, which has garnered over 55 citations, represents a critical step toward engineering and understanding complex genetic pathways. Her earlier 2018 paper laid the groundwork for this achievement, addressing the challenges of synthesizing large DNA molecules and delivering them to living cells. Davoli’s research is not only advancing synthetic biology but also opening new avenues for gene therapy, genome engineering, and the study of human disease. Her innovative approach to large-scale DNA synthesis positions her as a leading figure in the next generation of genomic science.
