Laboratory for Metabolic Systems Engineering
University of Toronto
Our lab leverages the capabilities of bioengineering organisms to produce biofuels, chemicals, and therapeutic molecules. Our research focuses on the dynamic integration of cutting-edge computational machine learning tools and experimental acumen, where metabolic models and synthetic biology serve as our guides and collaborators!
