Research
Challenges
Our lab's ongoing research projects are designed to address the following challenges:
- Atmospheric phytoremediation of nitrous oxide: expression of nitrous oxide reductase from Pseudomonas stutzeri in transgenic plants.
- Role of tryptophan-rich domains in anti-fungal properties of puroindoline Development of a novel tethering system to improve downstream processing efficiency of plant-derived recombinant protein bioproducts.
- Newborn Gastrointestinal Tract: Fate of Breast milk-sourced and recombinant soluble CD14
Current Research Topics
To this end, we are currently conducting the following studies.
- Newborn gastrointestinal tract: Fate of breast milk-sourced and recombinant soluble CD14
- Atmospheric phytoremediation of nitrous oxide: expression of N2O reductase from Pseudomonas stutzeri in transgenic plants.
- Role of tryptophan-rich domains in anti-fungal properties of puroindoline
- Development of a novel tethering systems to improve downstream processing efficiency of plant-derived recombinant protein bioproducts
- Producing conjugate vaccines without the use of chemicals
- High throughput screening functional genomic whole-colony method to identify antimicrobial peptides
