Research
The Cahoon lab conducts basic and applied research on plant lipid metabolism. The goals of our research are to enhance the nutritional and industrial value of crop plants and to probe the synthesis and function of bioactive lipids for nutritional biofortification and improved agronomic performance of crops.
We are a group of researchers from around the globe. Expertise in the Cahoon lab ranges from molecular and synthetic biology to biochemistry and metabolic engineering. Students and trainees work alongside experienced researchers to develop their both their laboratory skills and soft skills.
Publications
With more than two decades experience in the field, the Cahoon lab conducts world-class research that is published in the scientific community's most respected journals.
