We aim to discover how photosynthetic organisms work
at the molecular level, in order to improve lives.
FUNDAMENTAL RESEARCH Discovering how photosynthetic organisms capture energy and defend themselves |
SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS Solving energy and food challenges with new in-house technologies |
FUTURE SCIENTISTS Providing the scientists of tomorrow with quality education and research opportunities |
LATEST RESEARCH A recent publication in Metabolic Engineering looks at how cyanobacteria balance cellular
energy between “source and sink,” which may have downstream applications in bioproduction.

What's new?
‘Something funky’ is afoot with how electrons hop
Using molecular dynamics, researchers from the Kramer and Vermaas labs showed how
electrons move through a crystal, jumping from heme to heme. The researchers found
that the rate at which the electrons jump from one heme to another highly depended
on the temperature of the crystal.
