Bio

Arren Bar-Even, from the Max-Planck Institute of Plant Physiology, and his group, study cellular metabolism, and how microbes can be engineered to produce value-added biorefined chemicals. Their aim is to address sustainability challenges in energy storage and chemical production. In particular, they study the conversion of one-carbon feedstocks with microbes, using computational techniques to identify metabolic pathways.
