   Welcome to my homepage. I
  am a profesor in the department of Bioengineering and Department of Chemical Engineering along with
  being a member of the Institute of Biosciences and Bioengineering at Rice
  University. In addition, my research is in the area of metabolic
  engineering.  My research laboratory is
  mainly concerned with the development of new concepts and novel ways of
  altering metabolic routes in Escherichia
  coli using recombinant DNA technology to improve cellular
  activities and achieve more advanced production systems. The main focus is on
  the development of a framework for the systematic analysis of the cellular
  responses in regulating its metabolic activities upon precise genetic
  perturbations. Understanding these responses is critical to design organisms
  and processes for efficient and reliable manufacturing of gene products from
  recombinant cells.  |
