Scientists in B-8 Develop Strategies for Bioenergy, Bioremediation and Climate Change Research

As part of the Bioscience mission to address issues in environmental stewardship, this group focuses on discovering the molecular principles that underpin biological diversity, specificity, response and function. This is achieved through research in environmental microbiology, microbial genomics, metabolomics, systematics and phylogeny and can be applied to the advancement of bioenergy technologies and bioremediation as well as to our understanding of carbon cycling.

What's New?

Improving metabolomic measurement and analysis

Metabolomics, the study of small molecule biochemical components associated with metabolism, can greatly enhance researchers’ fundamental understanding of how cells operate. This approach has a wide range of potential uses, from gaining insight into how a single-cell microorganism uses carbon and nitrogen, to identifying differences between cancer cells and healthy cells.
