About the research
Fong asks how microbial metabolism can be redesigned to produce useful chemicals.
Read the full research overview
His research combines systems biology, computational metabolic models, and experimental strain development, connecting predictions about biochemical networks with engineered organisms. VCU describes a background that includes designing chemical production in Escherichia coli and broader work on modifying microorganisms for products ranging from fermentation outputs to fuels. This offers a research intersection between chemical engineering and biology: understanding an organism as a coordinated metabolic system, then investigating how changes to that system alter what it can manufacture.
