My research interests generally lie in the metabolic pathway engineering, the use of recombinant DNA technology to modify existing, or to introduce entirely new, metabolic pathways and regulatory systems within cells in order to improve their capacity to overproduce desired molecules (Biofuels, Drugs, Chemicals). *Research Keywords and Topics- Design and optimization of metabolic pathways for biochemical production- Development of synthetic biology tools to build artificial biological systems- Microbial cell factories for oil palm biomass-based biorefinery
