Bioinformatics and Biotechnology
My group has been working on process optimization for the sustainable utilization of bio-resources with a special focus on microalgae and cyanobacteria, wastewater recycling, and biomass-to-bioenergy conversion through pyrolysis and bioprocessing since 2010. We focus on bioprospecting and characterization of microalgae/cyanobacteria in a multiproduct biorefinery paradigm along with the elucidation of stress-responsive molecular mechanisms involved in algal biomass production and metabolite synthesis using multi-OMICs approach. We also manipulate abiotic factors to enhance productivity of algal/cyanobacterial biomass and high-value bio-products (carotenoids, proteins, lipids, phycobilin). The purpose is to develop green processes/products of industrial/environmental importance while keeping the Energy-Water-Environment nexus sustainable.
