Adam Deutschbauer has a background in microbial systems biology. As Environmental Atlas Science Lead, he develops next-generation tools for microbial functional genomics. These tools drive the development of experimental approaches to develop models of microbial metabolism, gene regulation, and signal transduction. He supports the high-throughput processing of ENIGMA isolates, facilitating integration and collaboration between groups.

Discovery Support Yields Phage Tailocin Insights - April 7, 2021-To ensure that the ENIGMA research program remains vibrant 10% of funding is set aside annually for a Discovery program. ENIGMA researchers may propose new, short-term, research projects that either explore a new research theme or develop a new technical capability. These proposals are reviewed internally and funds allocated on the basis of merit and potential impact. One… More →
