Professor Chun Li Visited the school
 

    Professor Chun Li from Tsinghua University visited Tianjin University and LIMB on May 16th, 2023 and gave an academic report on "Microbial manufacturing of plant natural products" for faculty and students of the Department of Biochemical Engineering. Professor Yan Sun presided over the report meeting. Professor Li and his team conducted research on the analysis and design of pathways related to the synthesis of plant terpenes and flavonoids, the design and stress resistance modification of microbial chassis cells, the assembly of multiple gene pathways, and the optimization and adaptation of cell factories. They designed and constructed relevant microbial cell factories, while expanding the derivation of product skeleton structures and obtaining a series of structurally novel triterpenoids and flavonoids, which provides new ideas for obtaining natural products from plants.
