Research is a Public Good

Summary

The application of Synthetic Biology can be everywhere, such as biofuels, green manufacturing, agriculture and medicine. Hence we think we can alleviate the pain in people’s life and solve their problems by means of synthetic biology, which is one prospect of BioCraft. To achieve this goal, we have built a cooperative relationship with HuaQiao Foundation and hope to do social service work as guidance of our research interests.
