August 2009
The Department of Bioengineering would like to welcome our newest faculty member, Dr. John Dueber.
Dr. Dueber received his Ph.D. in biological sciences from UC San Francisco, and completed a postdoctoral research position at UC Berkeley as a QB3 Fellow. He also served as interim Scientific Director of the Synthetic Biology Engineering Research Center (SynBERC) during 2007. He has already become a noted contributor to the field of synthetic biology, especially the area of engineering biological switches and optimizing flux through engineered pathways in microbes.
Dueber joins the Department as an Assistant Professor in Bioengineering, recruited through a search for the Energy Biosciences Institute. We look forward to the energy and expertise he will bring.
