Researchers in the Crops And Microbes for BioEconomy Resilience and Sustainability (CAMBERS) theme are developing scientific understanding and technological innovations required for the economically and ecologically sustainable production of liquid biofuels, platform chemicals, and diverse bioproducts. Our work is organized around the three highly interconnected topics of Bioeconomy System Design, Feedstock Production, and Conversion. Together we aim to deliver: 1) an integrated economic and environmental framework for determining feedstock supply and biorefinery design; 2) a regionally adaptive yet national-scale platform for high-yielding feedstocks with improved environmental resilience; 3) a broad set of platform microorganisms, and automated tools to engineer them, to produce value-added products from plant-produced feedstocks or substrates. All of these efforts are accelerated by breakthrough developments made by the team in genome biology, bioengineering, digital twins and mechanistic modeling, and artificial intelligence + automation.
