Soichiro Tsuda
Dr Tsuda works on bottom-up synthetic biology using lipid vesicles and cell-free protein expression system, which can be used as a platform for high-throughput directed protein evolution, investigation for origin of life, etc.
He also concentrations on experimental evolution of bacteria (E.coli and cyanobacteria) using computer-controlled continuous cell culture system. The evolved bacterial mutants can be used for producing biofuels and antibiotics.
