Research Description
The overall goal of my lab is to develop novel metabolic engineering approaches to measure, understand, and control cellular metabolism. These approaches are being applied to a variety of research questions of relevance to medicine and biomanufacturing. In particular, we use metabolomics and metabolic flux analysis (MFA) to quantify the intracellular metabolism of a variety of cell and animal models. Although diverse in their biological scope, all projects rely on our lab's core expertise to integrate numerous metabolic measurements into a quantitative map of cell metabolism using rigorous mathematical models, with the ultimate goal of deciphering how metabolic networks are natively regulated and how they can be further engineered to achieve a desired outcome. It is expected that this work will lead to (i) new discoveries that uncover fundamental disease mechanisms and can be targeted for clinical diagnosis or treatment, or (ii) innovative metabolic engineering strategies that can be implemented to enhance production of biochemicals, biofuels, recombinant proteins, or other bioproducts.
