Lab of Molecular Microbial Biotechnology & Bioenergy

Based on microbiology, molecular biology, biochemistry and biotechnology, our lab seeks solutions to solve industrial and environmental problems by using the useful bioconversion capabilities of microorganisms and enzymes. To this end, we are focusing on developing original technologies to convert renewable resources into high value-added chemicals, biofuels, new materials, and functional foods. Representatively, we are concentrating on research to develop industrially applicable microbial cell factories by newly designing industrial strains and complex enzyme systems based on state-of-the-art biotechnology. In fact, we work as a team in small groups on a project basis and have good organization.
