Welcome to BPEL at Sangmyung University (상명대학교 생물공정공학연구실)

Since its establishment in March 2017, the Bioprocess Engineering Laboratory at Sangmyung University has been conducting diverse research with the goal of developing high-value-added biomaterials production processes utilizing various bioresources and microorganisms. Our laboratory has led research in industrial microbiology, biochemical engineering, bioprocess engineering, biomass characterization, fermentation, and enzyme applications. We are developing technologies for the discovery and synthesis of advanced/functional biomaterials and the recovery of active ingredients in forms applicable to industrial use. In addition, we are focused on evaluating the efficacy of still unstudied medicinal plants to discover innovative biomaterials for the future.

We welcome students who are passionate about solving future societal challenges in health, environment, and energy, and who are interested in the field of bioprocess engineering for the realization of a sustainable society.
