We will miss you, Juya, Rohit, and Adrian, and Archana!

Aanaerobic fungi have significant potential for a number of industries. To learn more, check out this review by Casey and others: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.copbio.2019.03.013

Work by Kok Zhi Lee and others was recently presented at the ACS Annual Meeting in Orlando and released on biorxiv. In it, we demonstrate cleavage activity for the controversial enzyme, NgAgo, and identify domains critical for function with a potential for novel gene-editing applications. To learn more, please consult this article or our manuscript.

Dr. Solomon was witness for the US House Science, Space and Technology subcommittee on Research & Technology at its Mar 12 hearing on Engineering our way to a sustainable bioeconomy. He describes the lab's work with the microbiomes of livestock to develop solutions for biotech and outlines policy goals needed to support progress. Check it out here.

Not only do anaerobic fungi have a diverse enzyme set, it is robust against lignin composition that otherwise hinders hydrolysis in other fungi. Great job, guys in developing this valuable contribution to the literature!

Fantastic meeting for graduate and undergraduate students alike!

Logan Readnour is working to improve bioprocessing yields via dynamic metabolic engineering with engineered transcription factors. ​Check out the press release of our latest patent application to learn more.

Congrats, Casey, on your achievement in the 2018 NSF GRFP!

Dr. Solomon was recognized by Purdue University Residences as Purdue's Most Outstanding Faculty for 2018. The award is nominated and selected by students to recognize the scholarship, teaching, service and mentorship of professors who have made a significant impact in their career at Purdue.  

​Thank you! It has been an honor.
