Douglas Allen

Dr. Allen’s research interests include the analysis of metabolic networks in plants by combined experimental and computational methods. These investigations give insight to plant metabolism, important for designing crops to meet future nutritional and chemical feedstock needs. Doug received his Ph.D. in Engineering from Purdue University, has previously worked for the Archer Daniels Midland Company and the Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center at Michigan State University, and joined the Danforth Center in the capacity of Research Computational Biologist with the USDA in 2010.
