Research Interests:
• Physiology and molecular biology of methylotrophic yeast, Pichia pastoris, which is utilized as a system for the production of heterologous proteins (for example, vaccines, peptide hormones, and industrial enzymes).
• The effects of by-products on the protein production in P. pastoris and catabolite repression of methanol regulated AOX1 promoter of P. pastoris.
