A molecular biology lab building climate-resilient tropical crops through precision CRISPR editing, enzyme biotechnology and computational genomics.
Every project runs from computational design at the desk to marker-free edited lines in the growth room.
Editing defence loci for broad-spectrum blast resistance, with no yield penalty in high-performing local varieties.
Tuning ripening, shelf life and provitamin-A content in lowland tomato through targeted knockouts.
Characterising thermostable phytases from tropical Bacillus for sustainable feed and phosphorus recovery.
Homology modelling and guide-RNA pipelines that steer every wet-lab experiment before a single cell is touched.
Pick a target gene, choose an edit, and watch a marker-free SDN-1 edit run: guide RNA anneals, Cas cuts three bases upstream of the PAM, and the sequence is repaired with a lesion. This is the same logic behind every construct we design.
Swap these cards for your real members — names, roles and a one-line focus each.
Sets the research direction across rice and tomato programmes.
Runs regeneration and Agrobacterium-mediated delivery.
Guide design, cloning and genotyping of edited lines.
Phylogenetics, structural modelling and analysis pipelines.

We take on motivated students and collaborators who want hands-on genome editing, from guide design to the growth room.
