The laboratory is based on technological innovation, positioning in the national energy, resources, medicine and other significant demand. From the practical application, the basic scientific problems of biochemical engineering is extracted, and the basic research on the combination of theory and application is carried out, and the technical bottleneck in the process of industrialization is emphasized. The main research is to utilize a variety of resources, especially biomass renewable resources as raw materials to manufacture fuel, chemicals, materials, pharmaceuticals, food and other commodities through the three processes of biochemical reaction, separation and formulation.
