Chemical Engineering at Stanford University
Plants are prolific small molecule factories that harvest CO2 to produce compounds ranging from human therapeutics to the building blocks of energy-rich lignocellulosic biomass. Our lab uses a multidisciplinary approach combining chemistry, enzymology, genetics, and metabolomics to tackle problems that include new methods for deconvolution of lignocellulosic biomass and the engineering of plant antibiotic biosynthesis.
