Research conducted in Prof. Ziv Reich’s lab in the Weizmann Institute of Science’s Biomolecular Sciences Department aims to uncover the mysteries of photosynthesis so it can be used more efficiently to meet humanity’s needs or imitated by artificial methods that would mimic natural photosynthetic processes.
