The Applied Microbiology Lab is affiliated with the School of Biological Sciences at the Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology(UNIST) in the Republic of Korea. We focus on a wide range of microbiology fields, but primarily focus on the application of predatory bacteria against multidrug-resistant human pathogens. Work along these lines has recently expanded to consider the human gut and microgravity conditions and the possibility of using predatory strains as a deterrent and alternative to antibiotics in both our gut and outer space.

Major research field

Applications of microbes to control and mitigate harmful bacteria in various environments, including the human gut and in space

Desired field of research

The application of predatory bacteria as "Living Antibiotics" to combat the spread of multidrug resistant pathogens in different environments

Research Keywords and Topics

Predatory Bacteria, Antibiotic Resistance, Violacein, Polar Microbes, Microbiome, Microgravity
