Dacheng Ren, PhD, Assistant Professor, Biomedical & Chemical Engineering, Syracuse University We have broad interests in systems biology and biotechnology. Currently, our research focuses on understanding bacterial pathogenesis using functional genomics, proteomics, and bioinformatics. These high throughput approaches are powerful tools for studying gene and protein expressions, which will help improve drug discovery. Specifically, we are interested in bacterial biofilm formation, quorum sensing, and type III secretion system. We investigate the gene regulation of these systems and the interaction among them. Using these results, we develop novel strategies to control bacterial pathogenesis for both medical (inhibiting bacterial infection) and engineering (preventing microbial-induced corrosion) applications.
