Postdoctoral Researcher Recruitment Notice 2024 from Professor Xiong Wei's Research Group, School of Biological Science and Engineering, South China University of Technology

Company Profile

Professor Xiong Wei's research group from the School of Biological Science and Engineering at South China University of Technology is dedicated to innovating synthetic biology techniques and methods, aiming to adPostdocess energy, food, and environmental issues. They are developing cutting-edge scientific and technological fields such as synthetic biology, metabolic engineering, computational biology, and green biomanufacturing. They have successfully developed a cyanobacteria-based bioethylene synthesis technology starting from carbon dioxide as a raw material, providing a foundation for the biological manufacturing of bulk chemicals. Additionally, they have made significant breakthroughs in key technologies: pioneering the combination of microbial electro-synthesis and photo-biosynthesis, improving the energy conversion efficiency of microbial manufacturing by starting from the fundamental logic of photosynthesis; focusing on designing and constructing new carbon dioxide biological fixation pathways; and developing computational biology and bioinformatics tools based on machine learning and artificial intelligence. The application of these technologies will help reduce human reliance on fossil fuels and provide crucial support for achieving the "dual carbon" goals in China's green biomanufacturing and biochemical engineering sectors.
