Metabolic engineering of cyanobacteria
Our research
Our research is focused on genetically modifying the metabolism of cyanobacteria to achieve efficient, carbon-neutral production of fuels and other useful substances.
A particular focus is hydrocarbons produced from cyanobacterial terpenoid biosynthesis. We are working to introduce new genetic constructs into the bacteria using genetic engineering and synthetic biology, and are also investigating the natural metabolism of our model organisms, particularly the pathways that may be useful for the production of hydrocarbons.
