James Chappell’s research group at Rice University uses RNA technologies to transfer genetic programs between individual microbes in order to control and program communities of microbes that coexist or work together in a common living space. Chappell won a National Science Foundation CAREER Award that includes a five-year research grant for his lab to investigate renewable energy applications of RNA programs that selectively control the flow of energy in microbial consortia.
