Overview

We teach Molecular Biosciences and Bioengineering from University of Hawaii at Manoa with the understanding that together these subjects support the foundation of new technologies to advance human needs.

Features

Our faculty conduct innovative research on crops, snails, and microalgae, isolate novel and useful bioactive molecules, and make improvements in these molecules using recombinant technology and biochemical methods. We also work for developing disease resistance in Hawaii’s agriculturally important plants like papaya and forestry trees - Acacia koa and giant leucaena.
