 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 algae) to facilitate new applications in metabolic engineering, molecular farming and resistance engineering. Finally, the Bock group is also exploring the mechanisms of genome evolution in eukaryotes, and the genetic and evolutionary processes underlying the formation of new species. |
