We focus on biomolecules that form the foundation of life (especially, nucleic acids and proteins) and also on biomolecular life systems in which various biomolecules work in a concerted manner (e.g., a translation system). We harness and/or expand their functions to engineer non-natural biomolecules and bio-systems with novel functions and develop useful biotechnologies.
Specifically, we utilize a wheat germ extract with biomolecular engineering to promote the following research projects:
