SSbio

Systems & Synthetic Biology Laboratory

The Systems and Synthetic Biology Lab conducts research aimed at discovey and redesign of non-model microbes, plants, and microbial consortia. We focus on both computational and experimental techniques to overcome the challenges in utilizing these organisms as platforms for producing bio-renewables or answering biological questions regarding metabolism, health, and environment.
