Metabolic Pathways Design Lab
This lab focuses on reengineering metabolic pathways for specific uses, such as drug production. Metabolic pathways could potentially be developed to build microbes that seek out and degrade nerve agents.

Associated Researchers

  • Adam Arkin
  • Jay Keasling

Projects

  • Construction of hybrid metabolic pathways for drug production
  • Construction of microbes that can seek out and degrade nerve agents

Featured research:
Designing microbes to build drugs

Design Labs:
