Novel material engineering for bio-remediation
Environment persistent chemicals such as PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) can be degraded by certain fungus (i.e. White rot fungus). We utilize systems biology platforms to identify the optimal bio-remediation conditions and elucidate mechanism to guide more efficient bio-remediation.
Integration of electrochemical process and synthetic biology
Plastics waste imposes a major environmental challenge due to the low recyclability and significant production volume. We develop processes to remediate environmental plastics and develop degradable plastics.
We integrate electrocatalysis and synthetic biology for environmental chemical degradation and high value product synthesis.
