George McArthur IV
George is the founder of UVA's Virginia Genetically Engineered Machine (VGEM) Team. He is a third-year chemical engineering and music double major concentrating in biotechnology and composition respectively.
Academic Interests
My research goals include utilizing synthetic biology principles, in particular standardized biological parts derived from marine organisms, in the genetic circuit and metabolic pathway engineering of microorganisms for use in large-scale industrial bioprocesses including the bioproduction of specialty chemicals, biofuels and biopharmaceuticals.
My undergraduate studies at the University of Virginia in Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology (in addition to Music), coupled with future graduate studies in biological engineering, marine biotechnology and applied molecular microbiology will hopefully prepare me to tackle old and new bioengineering problems, including the bioremediation of our planet's coral reefs, and participate in the exciting biotech revolution that is occurring and that will continue to shape our world.
