Neil Dixon is currently a Reader in sustainable biotechnology based at the Manchester Institute of Biotechnology. His research group is focused on developing engineering tools and technologies to enhance the capacity and introduce new capability into biological hosts for biotech applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our research interests span synthetic biology, biosensors, cellular transport, and metabolic control. Including; i) the development and application of genetically encoded biosensors, for sensing, control and communication within and between engineered microbial strains, ii) development of consolidated bioprocesses and use of alternative non-energy crop feedstocks for bioproduction, and the iii) use of mobile genetic elements with catabolic payloads for bioremediation of xenobiotics.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
