<Sang Yup Lee> is a chemical engineer whose research includes <metabolic engineering>, <systems biology> and <synthetic biology>. KAIST’s institutional profile identifies him with its Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering and describes research on engineered microbial production systems.<Sang Yup Lee profile at KAIST>[Personal profile, department and Research interests]{ref}
A concrete publication is the 2016 primary study coauthored with <Chan Woo Song>, <Je Woong Kim> and <In Jin Cho> on engineered <Escherichia coli> production of <3-hydroxypropionic acid> and <malonic acid>. The project connects modification of metabolic pathways with measured chemical production, rather than treating expression of a gene as proof of successful manufacture.<Metabolic Engineering of Escherichia coli for the Production of 3-Hydroxypropionic Acid and Malonic Acid through β-Alanine Route by Chan Woo Song and others>[Verified author byline and abstract]{ref}
The engineering distinction is between a possible biochemical route and a functioning production process. A route can satisfy a reaction-network balance while being limited by enzyme capacity, cellular resource demands or transport. Testing product identity, amount and production conditions therefore complements genetic design. This connection between molecular interventions and measurable process behavior is central to the documented research area.
