Prior to joining at the DOE JGI, Dr. Yoshikuni was a co-founder and Chief Science Officer at a clean technology start - up, Bio Architecture Lab, Inc. where his significant achievement was using synthetic biology to develop the first microbial platform technologies enabling to unlock the potential of macroalgae as highly environmentally sustainable and cost - effective biomass for the production of renewable fuels and chemicals.

In the former paper, the authors — Murthy Konda, Seema Singh, Blake Simmons, and the late Daniel Klein - Marchschamer — presented a detailed technoeoconomic analysis of the economic potential and cost drivers of macroalgae as a feedstock for the production of biofuels and biochemicals. (jbei.org)
The threats of climate change and ocean acidification loom increasingly ominously for the future, but local stressors including an explosion in tourism, overfishing, and the resulting increase in macroalgae have been the major drivers of the catastrophic decline of Caribbean corals up until today.
