Prof. Richard Gross, Polytechnic UniversityProfessor Richard Gross is the Herman F. Mark Professor of Polymer Science, and the director of the NSF Center for Biocatalysis and Bioprocessing of Macromolecules at Polytechnic University in Brooklyn, NY. Funded by the National Science Foundation and private industry, the center conducts research to develop new ways of producing environmentally friendly polymers using natural systems such as yeasts, fungi, bacteria and plants. Dr. Gross has been honored with a Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge Award by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for developing a simple energy-efficient enzymatic method to make and modify plastics. DNA2.0 and Dr. Gross’s group are developing a new type of fuel-latent, biodegradable plastic using DNA2.0's ProteinGPS™ technology and the biocatalysis expertise and resources of Dr. Gross. BMC Biotechnol. 2007 7:16. Engineering proteinase K using machine learning and synthetic genes. Liao, Warmuth, Govindarajan, Ness, Wang, Gustafsson, Minshull. The project is generously funded by DARPA. See press release.
