Research

The complex interactions between humans and the rest of the biosphere have created some of our most challenging global problems in human history such as energy sustainability, severe pollutions, and emergence or re-emergence of old and new epidemics and diseases. Research in our laboratory is focused on the development of next generation molecular tools in addressing these key global problems in virus infection, biofuel production, and separation of protein pharmaceutics.
