Join the Lab →Many congratulations to Dr. LIM Xiao Hui on successfully defending her PhD — a hard-earned milestone, and a proud moment for the lab.
The whole group spent three days at LEGOLAND in Johor Bahru — rides, building competitions, and a chance to recharge together away from the bench.
We report a new arabinose-inducible univariant control system (AUCS) that enables precise, tunable expression for microbial production of proteins, enzymes, and metabolites.
Our work on engineering E. coli to produce rose-scent monoterpenes geraniol and geranyl acetate at high titer using innovative microaerobic bioprocesses.
Structural elucidation of fungal terpene synthases opens new avenues for engineering linalool and nerolidol biosynthesis through rational enzyme design.
High-yield microbial production of trans-nerolidol — a fragrance ingredient widely used in food and cosmetics — achieved from simple sugar and glycerol feedstocks.
Engineering E. coli to biosynthesize glycosylated carotenoids including zeaxanthin and astaxanthin glucosides with potential nutraceutical and therapeutic applications.
