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?
From negative results to new discoveries
In a recent study in Plant Physiology, Michigan State University researchers revealed
a misconception that had been growing in plant science about one of the fundamental
puzzle pieces of photosynthesis. In correcting the record, researchers can now think
about using this knowledge to improve plant function and grow more efficient crops.
