PhD, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta. 2004.

B.Sc., Computing Science, Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, B.C. 1990.

The goal of the Biological Nanobot Project is to investigate the capability for programming novel behaviour and capabilities into E. coli bacteria through genetic engineering and protein design. Dr. Materi initiated this project proposal in collaboration with Dr. Wishart and assumed responsibility for the research within the project under Dr. Wishart's general direction.

He has the primary responsibility for setting up a functional research group which includes training new personnel, supervising research activities, creating laboratory reagents and protocols, and writing funding applications. The group investigates the engineering of strong in vivo binding in E. coli using adhesin or outer membrane surface molecules engineered with binding shapes. They also designed and are testing a method for sequential integration of multiple transgenes into the E. coli chromosome without the selection markers left by the plasmids (circular, double-stranded units of DNA) used to transfer the genes.

Dr. Materi has given invited talks and presentations on bionanotechnology and other Nano Life Sciences related topics.
