Biomolecular Health, Food, and Protein Chemistry

The research focuses on investigation of biomolecules that can be applied as therapeutic and diagnostic agents. Molecular biology techniques and computational chemistry approach are used to study interactions between biomolecules and other chemical compounds to understand the molecular basis of therapy or diagnosis of a particular disease. Additionally, research focuses on the study of the application of phytohormone from natural resources for the improvement of agricultural yield. The group also conducted research on development of food and fermented products that have functional properties. Two food main products that are currently investigated are bread with natural antioxidants and yogurt that has beneficial properties for health. We also applied Other than that, the application of bread yeast for bioethanol is currently developed by increasing the stress tolerance of the yeast in order to increase the yield of bioethanol production.
