We are committed to accelerating environmental solutions with biology. To strengthen our understanding of environmental adaptability and resilience, we are uncovering the molecular foundations necessary to enable sustainable energy crop and ecosystem management. We are building models to bridge the gap between lab and natural systems to gain a deeper understanding of the drivers of nutrient cycles across diverse environments.

By decoding the genomes of microbes found in the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta, researcher Lauren Lui aims to fill in a missing piece of how this sensitive, critical ecosystem is knit together.
