From a chemical engineer's point of view, cells are treated as a catalyst that converts reactants to products. We design new catalysts, or "cell factories," to solve problems in biofuels, biomaterials, and biosensors. Our strengths are in the disciplines of metabolic engineering, synthetic biology, protein engineering, and systems biology. Our work has been recognized with the NSF CAREER Award, and is now part of one of the five national NSF Biofoundries. ...
