Development of microbial platforms for the production of valuable biochemicals
Advancement of convergence technologies for the utilization of underused resources, including agricultural residues and plastic wastes
Precision Food Synthetic Biology Lab (PFSB Lab) at Chungnam National University develops next-generation microbial platforms for converting underutilized wastes, including biomass and plastic-derived feedstocks, into valuable biochemicals and sustainable materials. Our research integrates synthetic biology, metabolic engineering, and precision fermentation to design robust microbial cell factories that enable efficient and scalable bioconversion processes. We aim to transform low-value or problematic waste resources into high-value products such as platform chemicals, food-related ingredients, and bio-based monomers, thereby supporting a circular bioeconomy and reducing dependence on fossil-based manufacturing. Through innovative microorganism-based technologies, PFSB Lab seeks to contribute to carbon reduction and the development of sustainable bioprocesses that help address climate change.

정밀식품합성생물학연구실(Precision Food Synthetic Biology Lab, PFSB Lab)은 바이오매스 및 플라스틱 유래 원료를 비롯한 다양한 폐자원을 고부가가치 바이오화학물질과 지속가능한 소재로 전환하기 위한 차세대 미생물 기반 플랫폼을 개발하고 있습니다.
본 연구실은 합성생물학(Synthetic Biology), 대사공학(Metabolic Engineering), 그리고 정밀발효(Precision Fermentation) 기술을 융합하여, 효율적이고 산업적으로 확장 가능한 생물전환 공정을 구현할 수 있는 고성능 미생물 세포공장을 설계합니다. 이를 통해 활용도가 낮거나 환경 문제를 야기하는 폐자원을 플랫폼 화학물질, 식품 소재, 바이오 기반 단량체(Bio-based Monomers) 등 다양한 고부가가치 제품으로 전환하여 순환경제(Circular Bioeconomy) 실현과 화석자원 의존도 저감에 기여하고자 합니다.
PFSB Lab은 혁신적인 미생물 기반 기술을 바탕으로 탄소 배출 저감과 지속가능한 바이오공정 개발을 선도하며, 기후변화 대응과 미래 바이오산업의 발전에 기여하는 것을 목표로 합니다.
