Synechococcus, a critical carbon fixation organism important in studies of global carbon cycles.
|
|
Biological organisms have enormous impact on global energy systems. Biological organisms store solar energy,
generate and convert fuels, and are a huge input into global carbon cycles which must be understood if
climate change models are to be used with any success. Our interests include:
- enzymatic conversion of biofuels and parallelized study of
these chemistries in microsystems
- rapid microfluidic analysis of cellular processes in species with
significant impact on the global carbon cycle
- study of biohydrogen-generating species
