Research Areas

Synthetic Genomics Research team is to produce new chemical materials in plants that connect to bioplastics and biomass energy by the use of genome information of various organisms. For this purpose we will search and design genes and synthesize new metabolic pathways for production of new biomass resources.

Research Subject

1. Production of Biomass Plastics and new materials using plants
2. Phenome analysis for biomass control using model plants and crops
3. Collection of tools for gene design
