Welcome
The UCLA-DOE Institute is a team of research laboratories working on fundamental research and technology developments in broad DOE mission areas ranging from microbes, to biofuels and green chemistry, to the design of new biomaterials.
ALGAL FUNCTIONAL GENOMICS
Using state of the art methodologies for genome-wide approaches to probe the enzymology, cell biology and metabolism of organisms that contribute to carbon capture and primary productivity
MICROBIAL METABOLISM, CHEMISTRY AND COMMUNITIES
Deciphering the metabolism of syntrophic microbial communities and the biogenesis of the cellulosome appendage of the model cellulose degrading microbe, Clostridium thermocellum
SYNTHETIC BIOCHEMISTRY: ENZYME AND PATHWAY DESIGN
Developing new technologies to carry out important biosynthetic and biodegradation reaction schemes in vitro through the design of novel pathways and enzyme systems
ATOMIC IMAGING TECHNOLOGIES AND NOVEL STATES OF MATTER FOR PROTEINS
Pioneering the new method of micro-electron diffraction (microED); revealing microscale substructure within protein crystals at unprecedented levels of detail
UCLA-DOE Teaching Outreach
The Institute mentors and provides learning resources for students from around the world
