Biomolecular Engineering Laboratory

The Biomolecular Engineering Laboratory, founded by professor Jeewon Lee, has focused on biomolecular process engineering such as LFA-based diagnostics, In vivo imaging, Photothermal therapy of cancer, and Synthetic pro-peptide design. We reported a variety of nanoparticle proteins such as cancer targeting peptides, specific disease detection particles, fusion peptides for enhancement of protein secretion in eukaryotes, and nano-vaccines for multiple precaution through one injection. In addition, we constructed new platforms of the nanoparticle which have characteristics, non-toxicity in vivo, intensive structure, and reasonable price. Currently, we also studies on immunotherapy, nano-enzyme for high value material production, and gene silencing cancer therapy. Finally, these protein nano particles are developed for application in pharmaceutical and biochemical industries.
