Welcome to the McDonald/Nandi Lab

The McDonald/Nandi lab studies how to harness plants as factories.

Plants + Synthetic Biology + Bioprocess Engineering + Bioanalytics + Medicine

Our highly collaborative research spans the full range of biopharmaceutical production, from gene and construct design to purification and characterization. We specialize in plant-based recombinant protein expression, downstream processing, and techno-economic analysis.
