Interdisciplinary Platforms for  Biology, Chemistry, and Engineering

​We integrate synthetic biology, material science, chemistry and engineering approaches for sustainable synthesis and remediation.

We apply multiple bio/analytical platforms and data analytics to study and understand environmental chemical impacts on the environments and human population.

We care about our people. We outreach to communities with engineering intervention for a sustainable future.
