RESEARCH THEMES

Our research focuses on the mechanisms behind the response of photosynthesis to environmental stress in algae and plants. Additionally, our work extends to developing microalgae-based biofuels and understanding the bloom dynamics and fish toxicity of harmful red-tide algae.

  • Photoinhibition and repair of photosystem II
  • Oxidative injury and redox regulation of protein synthesis
  • Strong-light acclimation and photoprotection of photosynthesis
  • Response and acclimation of photosynthesis to high temperature
  • Regulation of photosynthesis by lipid turnover
  • Dynamics of lipids in microbial ecosystems
  • Photosynthesis of harmful red-tide algae and their fish-killing factors
  • Biofuel production with microalgae
