We study and engineer the metabolism of heterotrophic and photoautotrophic bacteria. How is metabolism controlled? Can we construct synthetic pathways for non-natural products and redirect native metabolism into these pathways? How can we design optimal processes for sustainable conversion of solar to chemical energy?
The work involves metabolic engineering using state-of-the-art synthetic biology techniques and analysis of metabolites, metabolic flux and proteome.
