Our group endeavors to leverage natural products research by synthetic biology and metabolic engineering for the acceleration of innovations and translation of proof-of-concept discoveries into real world applications. Projects run in our lab are highly interdisciplinary embracing molecular biology, genetics, biochemistry, enzymology, analytic and organic chemistry, bioinformatics and artificial intelligence.

We recognize the importance of making our training environment inclusive and strive to recruit skilled and knowledgeable scientists of diverse backgrounds. Candidate students and postdocs interested to integrate their expertise in synthetic biology research projects should send their CV, academic transcripts, and cover letter to Professor Codruta Ignea at codruta.ignea@mcgill.ca.

For any other questions about the lab please email codruta.ignea@mcgill.ca
