Algae‑based Biofuel and Bioproduct Synthesis
Harnessing microalgae to produce sustainable fuels and biochemicals.
This research optimizes algal strain selection and photobioreactor conditions to maximize lipid yields and valuable co‑metabolites. Process engineering focuses on cost‑effective scale‑up, while green extraction techniques recover biofuels and bioplastics. The project addresses both energy security and circular‑economy goals.
Patient‑derived Organoid Platforms for Personalized Medicine
Using organoid cultures to predict individualized drug responses.
By growing mini‑organs from patient biopsy samples, we create high‑throughput drug screens tailored to each individual’s tumor or genetic disease. Integrated genomic and pharmacodynamic analyses will pinpoint optimal therapies. This approach seeks to streamline personalized treatment decisions in clinical settings.
