Harnessing Plants for Carbon Capture

    Combat the biggest threat to biodiversity and human health by engineering plants to accelerate CO2 removal from the atmosphere.

    Project Examples: 

    • Engineer plants to synthesize stable forms of carbon that can be harvested via long term sequestration. 
    • Engineer plants to enhance CO2 removal by increasing rates of CO2 fixation within the leaf. 

    Skills: 

    • Plant Biology
    • Molecular Biology
    • Biochemistry
    • Synthetic Biology
    • Data Analysis
