Research
I am a microbiologist using the theory of evolution as a framework to accelerate the discovery and facilitate the production of chemical products. I study the biosynthesis of bioactive metabolites and the evolution of microbial metabolism. I enjoy working on a combination of experimental and bioinformatic approaches. I believe that combining evolutionary and synthetic biology approaches will deliver products and processes that will improve human health and reduce the impact of human activity on nature
