Our research integrates synthetic biology, protein engineering, metabolic engineering, environmental microbiology, metagenomics, machine learning, and laboratory automation.
We focus on engineering microorganisms and enzymes, understanding microbial metabolic pathways and enzymatic mechanisms, and developing biotechnology solutions for environmental, pharmaceutical, and energy-related challenges.
Our current research directions include:
1. Plastic biodegradation
2. Engineering industrial enzymes for pharmaceutical and fine chemical applications
3. Developing dsRNA-based technologies for mosquito control
