Department of Biochemistry
Overview
The Department of Biochemistry has several researchers working to further our understanding of systems with potential synthetic biology applications. Steve Oliver's lab predict metabolic gene interaction in yeast, which is essential to engineering novel pathways synthetic biology. Peter Leadlay's group perform detailed functional analysis of novel polyketide natural product gene clusters to explore their potential for synthesising new drugs. Paul Dupree and Chris Howe are involved in the OpenPlant project looking at carbohydrate engineering. The Hollfelder Group has developed lab-on-a-chip systems for the screening of millions of new enzyme catalysts to allow high-throughput screening of synthetic parts.
