Research Summary

• Lin is the research associate professor and lead scientist who is in charge of bioremediation and natural products research programs at the Center for Agroforestry at University of Missouri. His primary research involves the use of plants, microbes and engineered enzymes for bioremediation, ecological restoration and development of bioeconomy. His research has been focused on bioremediation of organic pesticides, petroleum contaminants, endocrine disruptors, munitions explosives, personal care products and pharmaceuticals. For the natural product research, Lin primary research foci include 1) identifying the new uses of the high-valued natural products isolated from the specialty crops and byproducts using metabolomic approach, and 2) developing novel biocatalyst systems for production of biofuel and specialty chemicals, and remediation of environmental pollutants. Lin and his team have successfully transferred their inventions to the industry. The spin-offs from his research include Elemental Enzymes Inc. and Tiger Energy LLC (now Tiger Enzyme Solutions). His other active research projects include air quality monitoring, chemical ecology, environmental toxicology and biofuel research.
