PI

Ling Jiang

Since 2017, he has been a full professor at the College of Food and Light Industry of Nanjing Tech University. He has been engaged in the conservation and development of extreme microbial resources and food enzyme resources for a long time and carried out basic theoretical research and applied technology research in the common key technologies and research methodologies of biocatalysis and biotransformation.

Wei Liu

The main focus is on enzyme engineering, microbial metabolic engineering, and synthetic biology, with an emphasis on the efficient biological synthesis of food nutrients. Key research activities include the construction of in vitro multienzyme cascades for functional sugars such as D-tagatose, trehalose, oligofructose, and human milk oligosaccharides, as well as the creation of cell factories.

Yang Sun

I am focusing on three key scientific issues: the discovery, modification, and efficient use of microorganisms and enzymes, this approach begins with the exploration and evaluation of microbial gene functions, rational enzyme engineering, and directed regulation of microbial metabolism. Through the interdisciplinary integration of bioinformatics, genetic engineering, enzyme engineering, synthetic biology, and fermentation engineering, a multi-level system based on synthetic biology is established. This system encompasses functional modules, metabolic networks, and precise regulation, aiming to create high-yield industrial microbial strains with independent national intellectual property rights.

Liying Zhu

She is an associate professor at Nanjing Tech University. Mainly engaged in teaching and research in the fields of biocatalysis, biomaterials, and heavy metal treatment.
