Welcome to Bioengineering and Biosensing Laboratory
We are leveraging synthetic biology approaches to engineer proteins within the CRISPR system for diverse applications. By designing and optimizing CRISPR Cas nucleases, we aim to enhance genome editing precision, develop sensitive and rapid diagnostic tools, and improve crop traits for sustainable agriculture. Our work integrates protein engineering, molecular design, and functional testing to expand the versatility and efficiency of CRISPR technologies across biotechnology and agricultural systems.
