Microbial Manufacturing Engineering Center focuses on synthetic biology and green bio-manufacturing research. Adopting systems biology, synthetic biotechnology and process engineering, MME aims to decipher the physiological and metabolic mechanisms of important microorganisms such as cyanobacteria and filamentous fungi, and to develop alternative routes for green production of energy products, pharmaceutical products and bulk chemicals.
