Theme

Metabolic Engineering

Bioprocesses for production of chemicals and fuels using microorganisms are becoming recognized as highly important as processes with low environmental impact. By constructing models based on genome information, I have developed a technology to design metabolism in silico in order to produce the target substance. I am researching methods to experimentally determining the metabolic flux by isotope-labeled compound tracing experiments. Furthermore, in order to create robust cells for the bioprocesses, I am studying how to make them stress resistant by integrating omics information evolutionary engineering, to confer stress tolerance.
