Core Objectives
We are organized around a "Design-Build-Test-Learn" cycle to achieve our key research goals.
- Design: Discovery and optimization of fundamental DNA write rules.
- Build: Metabolic engineering for optimized productivity and biocontainment.
- Test: Molecular level understanding of algal physiology and productivity under mass cultivation and impact of animal nutrition.
- Learn: [Placeholder for "Learn" objective].
Research Topics
Our research is structured across five major science topics:
- TOPIC I: FRAMEWORK FOR GENERATING AND TESTING SYNTHETIC CHROMOSOMES
- TOPIC II: METABOLIC AND PHOTOSYNTHESIS ENGINEERING
- TOPIC III: ENGINEERING BIOLOGICAL NITROGEN FIXATION INTO A MODEL DIAOTM
- TOPIC IV: BIOCONTAINMENT
- TOPIC V: LESSONS FROM USE INSPIRD LARGE SCALE ALGAL PRODUCTION
