Putting Our Hands Together
Institute of Biomolecule Reconstruction (iBR) is pioneer in Streptomyces research in Korea ideally located in Sun Moon University. This institute emphasizes on engineering and developing small molecules of pharmaceutical importance. Their research interest is focused on the chemistry and biochemistry of secondary metabolites. The structures, biosynthetic pathways and physiological roles of these substances are primary subjects of their studies. The lab is well equipped with biotechnological tools facilitating the development of academic and industrially applicable research projects.
