The Lee Laboratory studies Chlamydomonas reinhardtii as a living fossil to investigate the molecular mechanisms of sexual development common to most eukaryotes. Our research goals are:

1. What is the direct contribution of sex to macro-evolutionary transitions from simple cells to diverse life forms?
2. How can we engineer stress-resilient photosynthetic organisms to secure food supply under dramatic climate changes?
