Chris Howe

Chris Howe is a Fellow at the University of Cambridge, affiliated with the School of Biological Sciences. His research focuses on photosynthesis, chloroplast function, molecular evolution, electron transfer, and sustainability. His work explores the biochemistry and molecular biology of photosynthetic organisms, as well as the evolutionary processes that led to their development. He utilizes techniques such as DNA sequencing, phylogenetics, electrochemistry, and biolistics in his studies. His research themes include oxygen electrodes and sustainability in biological systems.

Christopher Howe, a researcher at the University of Cambridge, focuses on the study of photosynthetic organisms and their applications in renewable energy and biotechnology. His work explores the potential of algae and cyanobacteria for biodiesel production, emphasizing life-cycle assessments and bioreactor technologies. He also investigates photosynthetic and respiratory pathways in cyanobacteria, as well as the role of these organisms in bioelectrochemical systems. Additionally, his research includes the evolution of plastid genomes and the phylogeny of organisms like The Canterbury Tales. His studies also touch on methane emissions from plants and the genetic diversity of crops like broomcorn millet.
