Prof. Tobias Erb: Breaking the limits of natural photosynthesis with synthetic biology

Prof. Tobias Erb is synthetic biologist and Director at the Max Planck Institute for terrestrial Microbiology in Marburg, Germany. His team interfaces biology and chemistry and centers on the discovery, function and engineering of CO2-converting enzymes and pathways. Research in Erb’s lab crosses multiple scales: from the molecular mechanisms of carboxylases to their ecological relevance, and from understanding the evolution of natural CO2-fixation to developing new-to-nature solutions, such as synthetic CO2-fixation pathways and artificial chloroplasts.

That pathway - operates! how cool is that - watching this, I find myself considering staying in software engineering for a few more years and then go back to university for a phd in that space. Curious what the synergies would be!
