We engineer organisms with new desirable traits to address challenging problems in human health, sustainable energy, industry, and the environment. Our research interests span metabolic engineering, organelle engineering, synthetic biology, structural biology, and protein engineering. We take a two-pronged approach to our research. On one hand, we engineer cells forging established methods with new technologies developed in the lab. On the other, we address fundamental questions of protein structure and function, cellular physiology, and metabolism that either currently limit our capabilities in cellular engineering, or that offer opportunities for new technologies. These two facets of the lab complement and fuel each other, as technological developments give rise to new fundamental questions, and basic research opens avenues for new technologies.
