Microbial genetic engineering laboratories research on the microbiome, the individual microbes, microbiota and metabolites that affect the human life cycle.

We hypothesize and prove how it will be beneficially applied to humans by analyzing DNA, RNA, protein, and metabolites derived from microorganisms.

We aim to draw world-class research results Using the latest technologies such as NGS, Bioinformatics, and CRISPR, and supply human resources in related fields  by developing microbial utilization technologies ranging from basic scientific research to industrial applications.
