Presidential Young Investigator Award

生物化学工程的这一研究计划的重点是对基因工程微生物中发生的宿主-质粒相互作用有一个基本的了解，并解释这些相互作用如何影响重组系统中的稳定性、生长动力学和产物基因表达。该计划主要是实验性的，但实验数据将进行数学建模。专家系统方法将被用来控制复杂的生物过程。

The focus of this research program in biochemical engineering is to gain a fundamental understanding of the host-plasmid interactions that occur in genetically engineered microorganisms and to explain how these interaction affect the stability, growth kinetics, and product gene expression in recombinant systems. The program is primarily experimental, but the experimental data will be mathemetically modeled. Expert systems metholodlgy will be used to control complex biological processes.
