Alissa Bleem is a researcher in biological sciences at the National Laboratory of the Rockies (formerly National Renewable Energy Laboratory), where her work focuses on advancing synthetic biology and microbial engineering for the bioeconomy. Her research centers on functional genomics, high-throughput screening, and protein engineering for conversion of waste and renewable feedstocks to energy, chemicals, and materials. Through interdisciplinary approaches that combine experimental and computational platforms, Bleem seeks to optimize microbial systems for process integration and demonstration at scale.
