Projects

Developing targeted on and off switches for chloroplast protein translation using a simple plant as a model system.

This project is engineering yeast strains that grow efficiently on methanol, enabling the use of organic waste or natural gas for the biological production of chemicals, fuels, pharmaceuticals, and foods.

We are using advanced genome engineering technology to understand how mosquitoes are able to harbor viruses.

This project aims to produce new gene regulators that enact more sophisticated logic decisions in plant gene expression.

This project will utilise synthetic biology to engineer phages that target and control bacterial biofilms.

The aim of this project is to establish a world’s first plant synthetic biology platform, amenable to high throughput screening for a variety of future output traits.

A cutting edge synthetic biology approach to experimentally ‘travel back in time’ to recreate the origin of photosynthetic eukaryotes.
