He is considered one of the foremost authorities in synthetic biology, especially in the field of metabolic engineering.

His research focuses on directed evolution, metabolic engineering, bioinformatics and high throughput technologies.

Therefore, trade-offs in metabolic engineering arise between the cells ability to produce the desired substance and its natural survival needs.

In 1990s, a new technique called metabolic engineering emerged.

At the industrial scale, metabolic engineering is becoming more convenient and cost effective.

The production of astaxanthin by metabolic engineering, in isolation, will not provide a suitable alternative to current commercial methods.

A major technological application of this information is metabolic engineering.

It is used in functional genomics, pharmaceutical research, and metabolic engineering.

Mr. Keasling's metabolic engineering is farther-reaching and, potentially, much more productive.

In recent years, metabolic engineering for microorganisms used in fuel ethanol production has shown significant progress.
