Synthetic Biology and Bioengineering Research Center (SBBRC) develops biological parts/devices and assembles them into practical and useful engineering tools. The key is the development of artificial genetic circuit devices using bio-parts, modeling/simulation and CRISPR technology. The range of potential applications encompasses, but is not limited to, biocatalyst/enzyme engineering, biofuel/chemical production, diagnostics and therapeutics. SBBRC recently became a member of Global Biofoundry Alliance (https://biofoundries.org) by establishing K-Biofoundry (https://kbiofoundry.org/index.html) to develop a robust and integrated biomanufacturing platform accessible to researchers across the private and public sectors.
