Antunes Lab - Plant Synthetic Biology

Plant leaf with electronic circuits

We are part of the Department of Biological Sciences and a member of the BioDiscovery Institute at the University of North Texas.
 

OUR LAB'S CURRENT RESEARCH INTERESTS:

  • Development of synthetic transcriptional and post-transcriptional control systems whose behavior can be modulated by specific inputs.
  • Small RNAs as mobile signaling molecules in plants.
  • Engineering complex synthetic genetic circuits to improve plant production and biosynthesis.
  • Re-wiring metabolic pathways in plants using gene regulatory controls.
