Dunlop Lab Awarded $500K NSF Grant for Metabolic Engineering Project
Abstract: Microorganisms can be engineered to express proteins that direct the synthesis of valuable products. However, the resources used to accomplish this take away from resources devoted to maintaining normal cell functions, which can often result in reduced cell growth. This project will explore using light to control metabolic pathways with the goal of balancing […]
