2009-05: Department of Energy EFRC announcement
The Lindsey Lab is part of a new Energy Frontier Research Center (EFRC) funded by DOE.

For our group, being a member of the Photosynthetic Antenna Research Center (PARC) is about designing synthetic hydroporphyrins for incorporation into synthetic proteins, which then will self-assemble into LH architectures. The PARC director is Robert Blankenship at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri. The PARC proposes a program in basic scientific research aimed at understanding the principles of light harvesting and energy funneling as applied to natural photosynthetic, bio-hybrid and bioinspired antenna systems. The goal of this work is to elucidate the basic scientific principles that underlie the efficient functioning of natural photosynthetic antenna systems and how those principles can be translated into concepts that will form the basis for next-generation systems for solar energy conversion. This will be accomplished using structural techniques such as neutron scattering and diffraction at the Spallation Neutron Source and the High Flux Isotope Reactor at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and advanced microscopy at the Center for Integrated Nanotechnology at Los Alamos and Sandia National Laboratories. PARC includes planned collaborations with scientists at the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center, Los Alamos National Laboratory, North Carolina State University, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Sandia National Laboratories, the University of California-Riverside, the University of Glasgow (UK), the University of Pennsylvania, and the University of Sheffield (UK).
