George diCenzo

George diCenzo is an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Microbiology at the University of Manitoba, Faculty of Science. He is also affiliated with Queen's University, Department of Biology, with contact details at 116 Barrie Street, Kingston, Ontario, Canada. His research integrates experimental and computational methods to study plant-microbe interactions, bacterial metabolism, and plastic biodegradation.

His research focuses on systems-biology approaches to understand metabolic and regulatory networks in Sinorhizobium meliloti during symbiosis with legumes, developing microbial bio-inoculants, and plastic biorecycling technologies. Key techniques include molecular genetics, -omics approaches, phylogenetics, comparative genomics, and constraint-based metabolic modeling. Longer-term goals aim to improve rhizobium-legume symbioses and agricultural yields via elite inoculants and sustainable plastic degradation methods.
