We have been investigating engineering bacteria to '''produce starch from the cellulose in waste biomass''' (that is agricultural waste, wood chippings, waste from paper production etc.). This starch could be:

This will reduce our dependence on fossil fuels and free up agricultural land for the growth of food crops, ultimately putting less strain on ecosystems.

Secondary Objective: Solving vitamin A deficiency in the developing world

We have also been continuing the work of our 2007 team in engineering Escherichia coli to produce the vitamin A precursor β-carotene. Vitamin A is required for vision and a healthy immune system. 250,000-500,000 children in the developing world lose their vision each year, half of them dying within 12 months of this ([http://www.who.int/nutrition/topics/vad/en/ WHO]).
