RESEARCH
New Enzymes for Natural Products
We are aiming to create new enzymes by directed evolution or computer-assisted mutagenesis. Such enzymes can be used to produce novel medicinal natural products that can be used as drugs (e.g., antibiotics, anticancer agents, and antifungal agents).
Synthetic Biology Tools
Reprogramming microorganisms is important for both industrial and biomedical applications. We are aiming to develop new synthetic biology tools including genome/transcriptome editing tools or metabolite biosensors.
Live Therapeutics & Diagnostics
Using the principle of synthetic biology, we are aiming to develop engineered probiotic bacteria for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes. We are also aiming to develop new tools for microbiome engineering.
