Metabolic engineering for value-added biotransformation;

Systems biology / biotechnology; Synthetic biology


  • Improving biofuels and value-added chemicals production from lignocellulosic biomass derived carbon sources by yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
  • Developing the yeast ‘whole cell enzyme’ for food-grade rare sugar production from abundant disaccharide.
  • Expanding and unifying yeast metabolic engineering toolbox with the CRISPR-Cas9 based technology.
  • Harnessing green algae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii as a model organism for plant research.
