Presidential Young Investigators Award

在接下来的五年里，首席调查员(PI)计划通过实验发现并建立控制植物细胞次生代谢物合成、产物分泌和生长的调控相互作用的数学模型。PI还计划设计能够将危险化合物快速、同时生物转化为生物质或手性分子的重组生物，用作立体特异的原料。

Over the next five years, the Principal Investigator (PI) plans to uncover experimentally and model mathematically the regulatory interactions that control secondary metabolite synthesis, product secretion, and growth of plant cells. The PI also plans to design recombinant organisms capable of rapid, simultaneous bioconversion of hazardous compounds into biomass, or chiral molecules for use as stereospecific feedstocks.
