George diCenzo is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biology at Queen's University. His research focuses on the genetic, metabolic, and regulatory networks of bacteria, particularly in the context of rhizobia, which are soil-dwelling Proteobacteria capable of forming nitrogen-fixing endosymbiotic relationships with leguminous plants. This interaction allows legumes to thrive in nitrogen-deficient soils. DiCenzo employs an integrative approach, combining experimental and computational techniques to understand the complexities of these networks. He is particularly interested in leveraging synthetic biology tools to engineer rhizobia for enhanced plant growth promoting activities. In his teaching, diCenzo emphasizes helping students cultivate a passion for biology, providing them with new and exciting knowledge while helping them develop essential skills for diverse careers in the biological sciences.
