One of the major challenges the world faces is how to provide sustainable sources of energy that meet societal needs as the population continues to grow. The Center for Advanced Bioenergy and Bioproducts Innovation (CABBI), with funding from the Department of Energy, will develop efficient ways to grow bioenergy crops, transform biomass into valuable chemicals, and market the resulting biofuels and other bioproducts.
CABBI’s Huimin Zhao will lead a project to develop the first foundation models specifically designed for metabolic engineering, using AI to transform how scientists engineer biological systems for domestic manufacturing. […]
