Engineering biological systems for biomedical and bioindustrial applications
About
The Peralta-Yahya group programs biological systems for the synthesis of fuels, chemicals and pharmaceuticals. We also program G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR)-based sensors for the detection of chemicals with applications from metabolic engineering to the elucidation of novel drugs. To do this we use principles, concepts and techniques from organic chemistry, biochemistry, molecular biology and engineering.
We are part of the School of Chemistry and Biochemistry and the School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at the Georgia Tech.
