Adaptive Evolution
Geobacter species and other environmentally relevant organisms can be evolved for enhanced performance in energy production, bioremediation, etc. Identify beneficial mutations and evaluate their role in contributing to processes of interest.
Metagenomics and Molecular Ecology
Evaluate the function and activity of Geobacter and other organisms involved in groundwater bioremediation through the analysis of environmental genomic and proteomic data as well as elucidation of in situ gene expression.
Genome-Scale In Silico Modeling of Bioremediation
Develop constraint-based models based on the genome sequences of environmentally relevant organisms and couple these models with hydrological and geochemical models.
Reductive Dechlorination
Investigate novel methods of improving bioremediation of chlorinated contaminants with new strategies for stimulating this process and genome-scale modeling and genetic manipulation of dechlorinating microorganisms.
Microbial Fuel Cells
Investigate mechanisms of electron transfer between microorganisms and electrodes; model functioning of microbial fuel cells; and improve power output via adaptive evolution and genetic engineering.
