iCLEM Featured as a “Cool School” on KPIX-TV
An August 7 KPIX-TV Channel 5 story featured the iCLEM program held at JBEI.
How Sweet It Is: New Tool for Characterizing Plant Sugar Transporters Developed at Joint BioEnergy Institute
JBEI researchers have developed a powerful new tool that can help advance the genetic engineering of “fuel” crops for clean, green and renewable bioenergy - an assay that enables scientists to identify and characterize the function of nucleotide sugar transporters, critical components in the biosynthesis of plant cell walls.
The iCLEM Program: An Atypical Summer Job for Bay Area High School Students
Students returning to school this fall will inevitably be asked: What did you do during the summer break? For eight Bay Area high school students the atypical answer will be: Conducted scientific research on bioenergy at a state-of-the art laboratory.
The JBEI GT Collection: A New Resource for Advanced Biofuels Research
The JBEI GT Collection, the first glycosyltransferase clone collection specifically targeted for the study of plant cell wall biosynthesis, is expected to drive basic scientific understanding of GTs and better enable the manipulation of plant cell walls for the production of biofuels and other chemical products.
