New collaborative NSF-BBSRC grant!

We recently received funding from NSF-BBSRC to start a 3-year collaborative project with Dominic Campopiano (University of Edinburgh) and Ziqiang Guan (Duke). Our SynBioSphinx project will study the mechanism of bacterial sphingolipid synthesis with the goal of developing a platform for in vitro sphingolipid production.
