#proteinengineering — Academic Profiles

Dr. Adam Damry

We're a newly established lab looking at how proteins behave at solid interfaces. Most of our understanding of protein science comes from fluid environments. However, solids are another incredibly relevant medium to modern biotech applications, and we don't yet have a strong understanding of how proteins interact with them.

Dr. Alex N. Nguyen Ba

We take advantage of latest synthetic biology approaches to increase the scale or resolution at which we can interrogate the systems biology of the cell.

Dr. Codruta Ignea

Our group is interested in sustainable production of chemicals by reprogramming simple organisms, such as yeast, into "smart chassis" to yield customizable products.

BioZone

BioZone aims to use Bioengineering to create a sustainable world by making industrial processes more sustainable, remediating humanity's environmental impact, and improving health outcome.

Dr. Vincent Martin

We are synthetic biologists with a strong penchant for metabolic engineering and industrial strain improvement. We like yeast but will play with other unicellular bugs as well.

Dr. Ahmad Saleh

Synthetic biology strategies for the biosynthesis of fine chemicals, especially lipid-based drugs and biofuels

Dr. David Stuart

We investigate the potential application of synthetic biology for performing metabolic engineering of yeast, bacteria and cyanobacteria.

Dr. Vikramaditya Yadav

The principal theme of Prof. Yadav’s research is the utilization of metabolic & enzyme engineering to investigate and customize novel biosynthetic enzymes that can convert biomass-derived feedstocks into value-added chemicals.

Dr. Andrew Woolley

Optogenetic control, photo-controlled proteins

Dr. Wei Zhang

My lab will open in July 2018 at the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology, University of Guelph. We are creating synthetic proteins using bimolecular engineering approaches to accelerate understanding of biology and development of novel therapeutics.
