Research philosophy
“We are working hard on fast revolutions in health, materials, and information, to break through the boundaries of human cognition."
Ongoing research
Hey, Future! Nice to meet you.
Cell-free Platform
Develop cell-free synthetic biology as an enabling technology by expanding the genetic code, controlling the transcription/translation, and diversifying post-translational modifications.Artificial Cell
Assemble an artificial cell for understanding basic life and employing a new biosynthesis philosophy to overcome problems in living cells.
Molecular Machinery
Advance the “protein engineering” technology by integrating chassis platforms with computational tools to make difficult-to-express proteins and novel biomacromolecules with de novo design.
XNA Synthesis
Design XNAs (DNAs and RNAs) with unnatural modifications and novel structures and produce them at low cost, for versatile biopharmaceutical applications.Photon Transformation
Convert light to chemicals, materials and new energy to achieve sustainability, and integrate photons with matters for chip and medical applications.
User-defined Materials
Realize customized and unconstrained material modification, synthesis, or conversion from wastes (CO2, plastics, biomass, etc.).
Bioelectronics
Fuse electronic-biological interface seamlessly to achieve digital green biosynthesis, health therapy, psychotherapy, and mind control.
Living Sensing
Construct artificial high-resolution and dynamic sensory system for environmental, industrial, medical, and AI applications.
Self-making Energy
Make safe and degradable self-sufficient energy by wireless electric/light/heat/magnetic/sonic/mechanic conversion for health applications
Spatiotemporal Intelligence
Make smart nanorobots for molecule delivery, mechanotherapy, 3D printing, 3D chips, and hyperspace transformation by collective intelligence.
Brain Science
Decode how human brain works, manipulate non-biological world by our mind, and evolve revolutionary robot brains.
Longevity
Extend human health span and lifespan by reprogramming aging and developing organ preservation technology.
