Center for Bioenergy and Photosynthesis |
CBP carries out frontier transdisciplinary scientific research designed to use biological systems and artificial systems based on biological principles to address societal energy needs in a sustainable manner, with emphasis on solar energy conversion and bioinspired energy transformation to meet human needs.
-Research aimed at understanding the principles of light-energy storage in photosynthetic organisms,
-Discovery using metagenomic techniques of new energy transducing pathways in microorganisms,
-Design, synthesis and characterization of artificial biomimetic light-energy capture devices,
-Metabolic manipulation and engineering of organisms for bioenergy production, including hydrogen, ethanol, and bio-diesel,
-Design and optimization of bioreactors and production processes for bioenergy production,
-Examination of the nature and role of photosynthetic organisms on environmental processes, climate, and human activities,
-Investigation of societal implications of bioenergy use and informing the general public about the transition to the post-petroleum world.
