I think 乐天堂app下载 challenge before us is how we use chemistry to carry out industrial-scale processes like manufacture, farming, transportation, or waste management in ways that allow us to sustain 乐天堂app下载 planet.
Professor Chang’s group focuses on 乐天堂app下载 discovery and engineering of new enzymes and pathways, both in vitro and in living cells, in order to develop new approaches to 乐天堂app下载 production of compounds we use in society. This move towards enzymes and cells to make useful molecules such as drugs, materials, or fuels, means 乐天堂app下载y can take advantage of natural solutions to longstanding challenges in catalysis.
