Plant and Microbial Biochemistry and Biotechnology

Researchers use their expertise in biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology to understand metabolism and development of plants and microbes. Research in plant and microbial biochemistry is interdisciplinary and benefits from close ties to the Center for Plant Science Innovation, the Redox Biology Center, the Center for Biotechnology, and NUTech Ventures, among others. Basic science discoveries are translated into commercial products and processes such as increased crop nutrition, higher biofuel yields, or generating drugs and chemicals from renewable feedstocks.
