NATIONAL CENTER FOR AGRICULTURAL UTILIZATION RESEARCH Microbial Genomics & Bioprocessing Research

Research in my laboratory focuses on developing new microbial processes for adding functionality groups to plant lipids or their component fatty acids to produce value-added food and industrial products. The goal is to develop new products from surplus soybean oil or its component fatty acids through bioprocesses. Oxygenated fatty acids such as hydroxy-, keto-, epoxy-, and cyclic fatty acids ar...

Molecular Systematics and Taxonomy of Yeasts Current research in my laboratory focuses on characterizing the phylogenetic diversity of ascomycetous yeasts and developing molecular tools for rapid strain identification and prediction of agriculturally and biotechnologically significant properties of those species. Yeasts are nearly ubiquitous in nature and are essential for the production of num...

Public-private Partnerships in Agricultural Research: an Analysis of Challenges Facing Industry and the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research

International Food Policy Research Institute discussion papers contain preliminary materials and research results and are circulated prior to a full peer review in order to stimulate discussion and critical comment. It is expected that most discussion papers will eventually be published in some other form, and their content may be revised. ABSTRACT Public-private partnerships offer potentially ...
