Josh Tycko

Postdoctoral Scholar, Epigenomics Program at the Broad Institute

Josh Tycko develops high-throughput synthetic biology technologies to manipulate and measure human gene regulation.

Project Description

Genetic therapies hold tremendous potential to treat diseases and improve human health, but their success relies on accurate systems that can deliver these treatments precisely to specific organs and cell types. As a BroadIgnite awardee, Josh aims to help bring promising genetic medicines closer to the clinic by elucidating the mechanisms by which secreted proteins reach their target destinations in the body—processes that can someday be harnessed to deliver treatments precisely to specific cell types.
