○Research and Education
By selecting functionally known biomolecular parts and designing DNA like writing a program, and then artificially reconstructing these within model organisms, it has become somewhat possible to execute specific purposes. Such genetic expression control systems, designed and reconstructed by combining functionally known biomolecular parts, are called 'artificial gene circuits'. Artificial genetic circuits are expected to find applications in various engineering fields, such as metabolic control aimed at chemical production and the construction of biosensors. Our research involves constructing artificial genetic circuits, applying them to microbial substance production to enhance productivity, and conducting education and research in AI and biotechnology.
