Guided by the key scientific questions and rate-limiting steps in the design and development of plant and microalgal cell factories, the Laboratory targets bottlenecks in the field. It carries out research on the mechanisms of high accumulation of protein and polyunsaturated fatty acids (greening, biosynthesis, transport, and storage) in soybeans and microalgae, modifies and optimizes photosynthetic chassis cells, and develops these systems for the efficient production of high-value recombinant proteins and DHA/EPA. The research results will be applied to the green manufacturing of important pharmaceutical and medical proteins, as well as health-promoting proteins and lipid compounds.
