By preventing the build-up of toxic metabolites in engineered microbes, a dynamic regulatory system developed at JBEI can help boost production of an advanced biofuel, a therapeutic drug, or other valuable chemical products.

JBEI researchers save water and reduce pollution with the first one-pot, wash-free, process for the ionic liquid pretreatment and saccharification of switchgrass.  

A new technique allows JBEI researchers to identify populations within microbial communities responsible for biomass deconstruction.

JBEI researchers helped develop a technique to identify microbial enzymes that deconstruct biomass into fuel sugars under refinery processing conditions.

JBEI's Director of Synthetic Biology Nathan Hillson has been named a recipient of the 2013 Director's Awards for Exceptional Achievement. A biophysicist, Hillson was recognized in the Technology Transfer category for entrepreneurism and development of relationships with industry.
