Functional Plant Engineering

Research Project

Search of novel plant polyphenols that have anti-aging effects and development of novel anti-aging supplements from these.
Development of micropropagation technology for medicinal plants by employing a technological tissue and cell approach.
Production of edible plant vaccines: Applications for prophylactic and therapeutic molecular medicine.

Introduction

In the Laboratory of Functional Plant Engineering we are committed to the discovery and growth of useful plants for the benefit of human well-being.
We conduct research on: (1) searches for anti-aging components from plants, (2) development of micropropagation technology for medicinal plants using a technological tissue culture approach, and (3) production of functional plants by employing genetically modified technology.
