Mission

"Work in creating a synthetic chromosome/genome will give us a better understanding of basic cellular processes. Genome composition, regulatory circuits, signaling pathways and numerous other aspects of organism gene and protein function will be better understood through construction of a synthetic genome. Not only will this basic research lead to better understanding of these pathways and components in the particular organisms, but also better understanding of human biology. The ability to construct synthetic genomes may lead to extraordinary advances in our ability to engineer microorganisms for many vital energy and environmental purposes."

 

Activities

Cellular Enginneering (Applications of metabolic engineering include the conversion of sunlight and carbon dioxide or plant biomass into renewable bioenergy sources),

Metagenesis (tools to engineer optimal microorganisms for a variety of bioenergy applications).

Microbial cultivation (isolation of strains exhibiting desired traits such as enhanced bioenergy production)
