He invented the broadly-applied concepts of molecular multiplexing and tagsCite error: Invalid <ref> tag; refs with no name must have content, homologous recombination methods Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; refs with no name must have content, and DNA array synthesizers. Technology transfer of automated sequencing & software to Genome Therapeutics Corp. resulted in the first commercial genome sequence, in 1994 . He initiated the Personal Genome Project Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; refs with no name must have content in 2005 and research on synthetic biology. He is director of the U.S. Department of Energy Center on Bioenergy at Harvard & MIT and director of the National Institutes of Health Center of Excellence in Genomic Science at Harvard, MIT & Washington University . He has been advisor to 22 companies, most recently co-founding Codon Devices, a biotech startup dedicated to synthetic biology. With their proprietary BioFAB™ platform, Codon Devices produces the DNA or protein sequences anybody orders. With Chris Somerville he founded LS9, which is focused on biofuels or renewable petroleum technologies.. He is a senior editor for Nature EMBO Molecular Systems Biology. (en)
