And I have been working on xylose metabolic engineering and cofactor engineering in Saccharomyces cerevisiae in my Ph.D. research. I have been working on butanol production in Clostridium in 2009. During the postdoctoral research, I am mainly focus on heterologous protein production in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and yeast cell stress response.
