North Lab Welcomes Dr. Kamal Deep

We are excited that this April Dr. Kamal Deep joined the lab as a postdoctoral fellow. Dr. Deep is an expert in microbial metabolism and will be leading our efforts in regulating ethylene synthesis in photosynthetic bacteria and lignocellulosic bacteria for making biofuels.

North Lab receives DOE EMSL award

We are excited to announce that in January we received an exploratory research award from DOE’s Environmental Science Laboratory to study how CO2 is converted into ethylene gas for bioplastics by our engineered Rhodospirillum rubrum strains using NMR metabolomics and HPLC-MS metabolomics.
