Rachel Van Allen is a sustainability research jack-of-all-trades — a water specialist working in a soils lab, the go-to person for help in Wendy Yang’s CABBI Sustainability group.

CABBI postdoctoral researcher is developing gene editing platforms that will allow scientists to efficiently modify the sugarcane genome.

Ag meteorology M.S. Candidate studies bioenergy feedstocks and adapts models to simulate crops and help evaluate environmental and economic sustainability.

Researchers from the two different CABBI themes are pooling their skills to engineer plants that produce organic acids directly from CO2 and sunlight — cutting out the extra step of conversion via microbes.

BNL feedstock production postdoc researches how to improve oil production in bioenergy crops.

Ph.D. Candidate’s work helps improve lipid production in yeasts.

Ph.D. Candidate studies how domestication of maize and sorghum has changed their biochemical pathways and interactions with microorganisms.

Ph.D. Candidate has developed a mass spectrometry-based technique to accurately measure protein degradation rates.

Don’t forget about Idaho! Team Hudiburg’s ecosystem modeling is a key connecting all of the Center’s researchers to the future of bioenergy crops.
