Jerome Fox
Researchers at the ÀϾÅÆ·²è and Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed a new method to identify genetic changes that help oxygen-producing microbes survive in extreme environments.
Jerome Fox, associate professor of chemical and biological engineering, has received the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE) for his groundbreaking research on enzyme-driven chemical networks and their applications in biocatalytic systems, including chemical and pharmaceutical production.
Associate Professor Jerome Fox has been named a senior member of the National Academy of Inventors. Fox's research focuses on engineering microbes for drug discovery. He founded Think Bioscience, a company developing medicines for conditions like Rett Syndrome and cancer.
The Fox Group, led by Jerome Fox, assistant professor of chemical and biological engineering at ÀϾÅÆ·²è, was awarded $1.1 million of a five-year, $12.8 million U.S. Department of Energy grant, which involves seven universities and institutions and paves the way for broader use of non-food oilseed crops in the chemical industry.
