Cell-Free Protein Synthesis

The Aw Lab develops cell-free protein synthesis systems for rapid protein production and engineering biology applications.

Research Overview

Cell-free protein synthesis enables the production of proteins outside living cells, providing a rapid and flexible platform for biological design and testing.

Our research focuses on developing eukaryotic cell-free systems derived from Pichia pastoris, expanding their capabilities and applying them to high-throughput protein production and screening.
