Center Introduction

The Smart Farm Convergence Research Center is established in 2019 by natural botanical, engineering, and life science researchers for science and technology-based future agricultural convergence and source technology development research. Our center focuses on developing the "data-based functional plant optimal production smart farm platform."

Main Reserch
  • Microalgae research (microalgae culture, production of functional materials, and metabolic engineering)
  • Biosynthesis of secondary metabolites in plants (gene function, gene expression, regulation and metabolic engineering)
  • Natural products chemistry and application to food industry (analysis, extraction and processing, functional food development)
  • Production and application of functional natural products by using smart farm and plant factory
