Biomanufacturing and strain engineering across diverse microorganisms, with a core focus on designing and executing experiments to boost strain performance and streamline bioprocesses for large-scale production. Our approach encompasses advanced genetic engineering techniques such as gene knock-outs, overexpression, heterologous expression, and metabolic pathway optimization to maximize strain efficiency. By leveraging these strategies, we aim to enhance the production of high-value biomolecules and contribute to developing sustainable biomanufacturing solutions for various industrial applications.
