rwhaushalter@lbl.gov Research My research in the Keasling Lab focuses on developing new biochemical pathways for producing commodity chemicals from renewable sugars by engineering microbes. I specialize in using fatty acid and polyketide synthase enzymes to produce new compounds and drop-in replacements for currently-used products.
