My lab develops genome-engineering tools in diverse microbes and apply these to the study of antimicrobial resistance and synthetic biology.
Read MoreWe aim to engineer microalgae to produce proteins for medical and industrial uses as well as engineer metabolic pathways in microbial platforms for the production of isoprenoids.
Read MoreThe principal theme of Prof. Yadav’s research is the utilization of metabolic & enzyme engineering to investigate and customize novel biosynthetic enzymes that can convert biomass-derived feedstocks into value-added chemicals.

Read MoreResearch in the Zandstra Laboratory is focused on the generation of functional tissue from somatic and pluripotent stem cells. Our quantitative, technology-driven approach strives to gain new insights into fundamental mechanisms that control stem cell fate and to develop robust technologies for the propagation of stem cells and their derivatives.
Read MoreMy lab will open in July 2018 at the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology, University of Guelph. We are creating synthetic proteins using bimolecular engineering approaches to accelerate understanding of biology and development of novel therapeutics.
Read MoreSynBioApps offers graduate training in the various technologies of synthetic biology, including work in Concordia University’s Genome Foundry.
