Research Interests
|
|
Dr. Bock’s research team uses a wide range of cutting-edge biochemical, physiological, and genetic techniques to investigate the DNA-containing cell organelles of plants (chloroplasts and mitochondria), with interests ranging from organellar physiology and gene expression to metabolic and genetic interactions between organelles and other cellular compartments. In addition, his group is developing tools for biotechnology and synthetic biology in plants and eukaryotic algae (green algae and red al |
