Research Key Words
Molecular biology, biochemistry, synthetic biology, metabolic engineering, analytical chemistry, natural products
Radin Sadre earned her PhD from RWTH Aachen University in Germany studying plant biochemistry and synthetic biology. Most recently she served as a Senior Research Associate in the lab of Dr. Erich Grotewold at Michigan State University where she investigated molecular mechanisms underlying the production and accumulation of flavonoids and other phenolics in maize and designed engineering approaches for the production of bioactive glycosylated flavonoids. Her research program at Ohio State focuses on the development of novel synthetic biology tools that further our understanding of the complex network of metabolic pathways at the molecular, subcellular, and cellular levels. Her work in synthetic biology has the ability to impact global challenges including climate change and population growth as we seek new methods to increase crop productivity and sustainable practices.
