Optical biosensors for neural circuits and methane-eating enzymes with Loren Looger
About this episode
Loren Looger discusses his work on optical biosensors and methane-eating enzymes in the context of climate challenges.
When Loren Looger walks into a room, he doesn't want recognition, he wants to make things that work. The creator of revolutionary, open-source tools that transformed how we visualize brain activity is increasingly turning his protein engineering expertise to formidable challenges in climate, including methane degradation. . Methane sits at the heart of our climate crisis as a greenhouse gas 80 times more potent than carbon dioxide. Yet nature has evolved only a few enzyme scapable of breakin...
