The Ducat lab's research on bioplastics is featured in a recent article in the online publication, The Conversation.
By By The ConversationMSU scientists report how cyanobacteria line up their CO2-fixing factories within them in a system that works like Velcro. The research is part of an effort to control and repurpose these factories to make products for human consumption.
By By Igor Houwat, Danny DucatMSU’s second-ever iGEM team earned a Silver Medal for a new technology that can detect dangerous contaminants in the environment.
By By Bjoern Hamberger, Igor HouwatThe cooperative works like an assembly line and is relatively cheap to run. Future products could include medicine, even food for Martian outposts.
By Igor Houwat, Taylor Weiss; Banner image by NASA/Public DomainScientists are learning how bacterial nanofactories are constructed in nature. Recent experiments show we could engineer their building blocks into new structures, for useful applications.
By Igor Houwat, Eric YoungTaylor will be Assistant Professor in the Ira A. Fulton School of Engineering, researching the design of artificial and synthetic algae-bacteria consortia for scaled production of bioproducts.

Why this promising biofuel crop takes a summer break
By explaining a photosynthetic peculiarity in switchgrass, MSU researchers from the Walker lab may have unlocked even more of the plant’s potential.
Untying molecular knots: Making molecular simulations more efficient with LongBondEliminator
Researchers from the Vermaas lab created a more efficient tool to solve the problem of ring piercings in molecular simulations. This work is published in Biomolecules.
From colleagues to collaborators, a cross-department conversation links statistics to plant science
Complicated sets of biological data can be challenging to extrapolate meaningful information from. Wanting to find a better way to look at this data led Berkley Walker, assistant professor at the MSU-DOE Plant Research Laboratory, to team up with statistician and Assistant Professor Chih-Li Sung from the Department of Statistics and Probability.
