Dominic Sauvageau is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemical Materials Engineering at the University of Alberta. His research primarily focuses on bioengineering, emphasizing developing bioprocessing strategies for improved production and conversion of microbial systems. He explores various mechanisms in biochemistry and molecular biology, aiming to optimize the production of valuable bio-molecules through advanced processing strategies. His current projects include the development of smart packaging materials for detecting pathogenic bacteria in food and converting methane and methanol into valuable bio-molecules using methylotrophic bacteria. Additionally, Sauvageau investigates the production of shikimic acid through synchronized engineered yeast populations, alongside studying the complex dynamics of host-bacteriophage interactions and the impact of genetic engineering on these interactions. By applying tools from metabolic engineering, synthetic biology, and principles of chemical engineering, he aims to develop new engineered strains for novel applications in bioprocessing, pharmaceutical production, and waste stream conversion.
