But Professor Katsutoshi Hori believes that part of the solution may one day emerge from Singapore – specifically, at the Nagoya University Global Campus Singapore.A professor of biotechnology at Nagoya University and a founder of Friend Microbe Inc, Prof Hori has dedicated almost 40 years to researching microorganisms and enzymes, and how they can be deployed at an industrial scale through advanced bioreactor technologies. His work focuses on a niche but increasingly vital field: clean biotechnology for environmental sustainability.https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/biotech-to-aerospace-deep-tech-start-ups-research-partnerships-nagoya-university-global-campus?ref=latest   (ICE SINGAPORE)
