Interfacial Microbial Engineering
Wastewater Treatment / Bioremediation

Many microorganisms play a crucial role in ecosystems as decomposers. The active utilization of these microorganisms can facilitate bioremediation, biofuel production, eco-friendly chemicals, and even sustainable agriculture, forestry, and fisheries. We strive to uncover the functions of microorganisms and biomolecules, and to develop highly efficient and practical microbial and biomolecular processes using advanced biotechnology in cutting-edge academic fields such as gene and protein engineering, bioinformatics, and synthetic biology.
