The Photobiology Group's research goal is to enable transformative technology developments in photobiological systems for producing hydrogen and hydrocarbon-based chemicals and liquid biofuels. Photobiological systems in algae and cyanobacteria are promising on their own as a basis for advanced biofuels production technologies and also as a model from which to understand and develop biohybrid and biomimetic systems.
