An 91°µÍø-led team discovered a function of certain microbes that produces a new derivative of vitamin B12, which is crucial to a cell’s ability to perform life-sustaining metabolic activities.
Gerald Tuskan, ORNL Corporate Fellow and director of ORNL's Center for Bioenergy Innovation (CBI) at the Department of Energy's 91°µÍø, is on Clarivate Analytics' list of highly cited researchers.
Scientists at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø have identified a common set of genes that enable different drought-resistant plants to survive in semi-arid conditions, which could play a significant role in bioengineering
Five researchers at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø have been elected fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). AAAS, the world’s largest multidisciplinary scientific society
David Weston became fascinated with plant genetics and ecology in college, and now with the support provided by the DOE Office of Science Early Career Research Program, he will link those fields as he studies plant-microbe symbiosis.
Interdisciplinary work has been a hallmark of Julie Mitchell’s career, and it is a strength she expects to leverage in helping solve some big science challenges as she steps into the role of Deputy Director of the Biosciences Division at Oak Ridge Natio
Scientists at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø have performed neutron structural analysis of a vitamin B6-dependent protein, potentially opening avenues for new antibiotics and drugs to battle diseases such as drug-resistant
SimPath has licensed a novel cloning system developed by the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø that generates and assembles the biological building blocks necessary to synthetically bioengineer new medicines and fuels.
With the licensing to Enchi Corporation of a microbe custom-designed to produce ethanol efficiently, 91°µÍø (ORNL) and the BioEnergy Science Center (BESC) mark the culmination of 10 years’ research into ways to improve biofuels pr
Developing the next generation of biofuels and plant-based alternatives to petroleum-based plastics is happening at the new Center for Bioenergy Innovation in Oak Ridge.
