My lab members and I are passionate about trying to understand the cellular highways of energy and carbon transformations known as central carbon metabolism in quantitative terms. We employ a combination of computational and experimental synthetic biology tools. We also quantify the new geological era of the anthropocene from a holistic quantitative perspective to get insight and lead of action.
