Professional Information
Molecular biology and biochemistry of archaeal DNA replication; host-microbiome interactions; enzymes of plant cell wall hydrolysis
The research of the Cann lab focuses on three areas:
- DNA replication in the archaeal domain of life
- Host-microbiome interactions and their effects on health and disease
- Enzymes of importance to biofuel production
Isaac Cann is a member of two themes at the Carl R. Woese Institute for Genomic Biology (IGB), and his research is carried out at the space shared by his affiliated themes [Microbiome Metabolic Engineering (MME) and Biocomplexity (BCXT)] with others at the IGB.
