Research Interest

Major in metabolic engineering and focus on the design and construction of strains suitable for industrial production. Until now, several strains have been created for producing D-lactate, L-valine, L-lactate, Vitamin B5 or isobutanol. The Key technologies for producing D-lactate and L-valine have been realized the tons commercial production.
