Research in the Clark lab is centered in biochemical engineering, with particular focus on proteins in extreme environments. Current projects include the activation of enzymes in non-aqueous media, the immobilization of enzymes on microchips for combinatorial catalysis, the investigation of function and stability of chaperones from thermophilic and barophilic microorganisms, and the enhanced conversion of lignocellulose to biofuels.
