지구온난화의 주범인 석유화학산업을 대체할 친환경 미래 기술로 ‘바이오 리파이너리’가 주목받고있다. 이에 본 연구실에서는 여러 유전공학 및 합성생물학 기술들을 개발하고 활용하여 바이오매스로부터 다양한 바이오 화학물질들을 생산할 수 있는 인공미생물을 제작하는 대사 공학 연구를 진행하고 있다.
My research interests generally lie in the metabolic pathway engineering, the use of recombinant DNA technology to modify existing, or to introduce entirely new, metabolic pathways and regulatory systems within cells in order to improve their capacity to overproduce desired molecules (Biofuels, Bioplastics, Chemicals, Drugs).
