We aim to discover how photosynthetic organisms work
at the molecular level, in order to improve lives.
FUNDAMENTAL RESEARCH
Discovering how photosynthetic organisms capture energy
and defend themselves
SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS
Solving energy and food challenges with new in-house technologies
FUTURE SCIENTISTS
Providing the scientists of tomorrow with quality education
and research opportunities
LATEST RESEARCH
A recent publication in Metabolic Engineering looks at how
cyanobacteria balance cellular energy between “source and sink,”
which may have downstream applications in bioproduction.

What's new?
‘Something funky’ is afoot with how electrons hop
Using molecular dynamics, researchers from the Kramer and Vermaas labs showed how
electrons move through a crystal, jumping from heme to heme. The researchers found
that the rate at which the electrons jump from one heme to another highly depended
on the temperature of the crystal.
