Research Interest
The newly established Cyanobacterial Synthetic Biology Lab at NTU (CyanoSynBio@NTU) is exploring the use of synthetic biology approaches to develop cyanobacteria as suitable platforms for the production of high-value products especially excretable carbon-based molecules. The advantage of cyanobacteria (as well as microalgae) is that they use solar energy to drive the process and at the same time capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.Â
