Developing Datasets and Algorithms for Metabolic Modelling and Engineering
This project develops an integrated experimental-computational framework to train machine learning models for predicting microbial growth from genomic and environmental information. The framework combines standardized wet-lab growth characterization, cross-site experimental validation, automated genome annotation, and metabolic pathway feature extraction to generate high-quality genotype-environment-phenotype datasets. By integrating microbial growth measurements with genome-derived metabolic features, the project aims to enable scalable prediction of microbial behavior across diverse strains and cultivation conditions, supporting applications in metabolic engineering, biotechnology, and predictive microbiology.
