We analyze DNA, RNA, protein, and metabolites derived from microorganisms, and establishes and proves a hypothesis how to apply it beneficially to human life by identifying the correlation between host and the microbiome. We aim to develop cutting-edge microbial control technologies using the NGS, bioinformatics, CRISPR and so on, ranging from basic scientific research to industrial applications to produce experts and to derive world-class research results in the microbial field.
