Professor - Dept. of Microbiology and Plant Pathology
Dr. Borkovich's current research focuses on how multicellular (filamentous) fungi sense their environment and then fine-tune their gene expression to allow exploitation of different nutritional sources or to infect plant hosts.
Dr. Elisabeth develops bioimaging workflows to visualize and characterize microbial interactions, exploring how microbes interact with each other and with their environment. Dr. Elisabeth will co-manage the anaerobic chamber and lead the high throughput imaging effort.
The Greene lab studies non-equilibrium redox biology spanning the redox landscape from thiyl radical enzymes to electron bifurcation and phosphorus redox cycling.
Professor of Bioengineering and Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry
Professor Hanein’s research focus is the quantitative combination of high-resolution imaging technologies to directly view in three-dimensions and while in their native environment, the molecular architecture, and the dynamic conformational landscape of biological nanomachines.
Professor and Vice Chair for Undergraduate Education, Dept of Computer Science and Engineering
Dr. Lonardi’s research interests include computational molecular biology, bioinformatics, genetics, epigenetics and genomics, design of algorithms, and data science.
Education Lead, Center for Science and Engineering Partnerships (CSEP)

Co-Principal Investigator, ExFAB Associate Professor, Department of Biological Sciences
Dr. Snyder’s research focuses on viruses that infect organisms living in extreme environments, including high temperature (70-90C) and low pH (pH 1-4) environments.
Co-Principal Investigator, NSF ExFAB BioFoundry Professor, Department of Microbiology and Plant Pathology
Dr. Stajich uses computational and evolutionary genomics approaches to study microbial evolution and ecology with a focus on Fungi. His research spans interactions of Fungi with plants, animals, Bacteria and mycoviruses.
Dr. Vining is an expert is designing high-throughput mass spectrometry, biological screening, and compound isolation workflows, and joins ExFAB to co-manage the automated anaerobic biofoundry and lead the center's mass spectrometry programs.
Co-Director and Principal Investigator, NSF ExFAB BioFoundry Associate Professor of Chemical and Environmental Engineering
Dr. Wheeldon’s lab is interested in engineering new multi-enzyme pathway biocatalysts with controlled spatial locations, distances, and orientations to control substrate flux along pathways.
