Research links

As a student and research trainee, I've had the good fortune to do research with Dan Lynch, Kevin Conley, Marty Kushmerick, and Mary Lidstrom, all of whom have been excellent mentors. In addition, I've learned a lot about cellular metabolism and metabolic engineering from the work of the investigators listed below.

Athel Cornish-Bowden
Writes lucid and engaging papers on metabolic control analysis.

Drew Endy
A leader in the emerging field of "Synthetic Biology."

Jay Keasling
Has used metabolic engineering to reduce the cost of producing the antimalarial drug artemisinin.

James Liao
Has optimized lycopene production in E. coli by making the expression of two key enzymes dependent on metabolic flux dynamics.

Chris Marx
Investigates the evolution of metabolic pathways in bacteria.

Greg Stephanopoulos
A chemical engineer with an interest in the manipulation of metabolic fluxes.
