Laohakunakorn Group
Welcome! We are a new research group at The University of Edinburgh. Led by Dr Nadanai Laohakunakorn, our vision is to master the use of cell-free synthetic biology to enable a wide variety of applications in biomanufacturing, biosensing, and healthcare.
Harnessing these simplified mimics of living cells gives us a unique approach to understanding life, by building it up from its most basic components.
