Dr. Codruta Ignea

Assistant Professor, McGill University

Bio: Our group is interested in sustainable production of chemicals by reprogramming simple organisms, such as yeast, into "smart chassis" to yield customizable products. We apply a multi-disciplinary approach that involve biocatalysis, metabolic engineering, protein engineering and synthetic biology to access and expand Nature’s chemical space for discovery of new molecules with improved biological activities.
