Noble Innovation Fund researchers find synthetic biology approaches to cannabinoid production

Investigators: Yi Tang; Neil Garg A project dedicated to using yeast to produce potential medicinal compounds naturally found in the cannabis plant is helmed by CNSI member Yi Tang, professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering, of chemistry and biochemistry and of bioengineering, and Neil Garg, the Kenneth N. Trueblood Endowed Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry and chair and distinguished professor of chemistry and biochemistry. This is the first UCLA-based grant to utilize the CNSI’s new Living Biofoundry, established through the National Science Foundation–funded BioPACIFIC Materials Innovation Platform. The Noble Family Innovation Fund, established with a $10 million philanthropic commitment to the California NanoSystems Institute at UCLA, supports basic and translational research involving interactions on the nanoscale — measured in billionths of a meter. Funding is earmarked for projects with substantial promise for commercialization and societal impact. The goal is to create a model for academic research and entrepreneurship that enables strategic investment to seed discoveries that have the potential to be translated for the public good For more information please visit: https://cnsi.ucla.edu/noble-fund/ The researchers acknowledge the utilization of the NSF BioPACIFIC Materials Innovation Platform (DMR-1933487), a one of a kind user facility dedicated to creating a nexus for synthetic biology and materials to revolutionize high-performance polymers.
