JBEI researchers in the Technologies Division are investigating new technologies that can advance the research and development of biofuels. Technologies that can be adapted to help JBEI reach its scientific goals include high-throughput protein expression, purification and screening techniques; techniques for the characterization of genes and proteins in both natural and engineered plants and microorganisms; synthetic biology techniques for the engineering of new fuel-generating organisms and improved fuel plants; and imaging techniques for more detailed visualization of plant cell walls and their components.
