About

Jibin Sun is a pioneering researcher in synthetic biology and metabolic engineering, with a primary focus on developing advanced genetic tools for industrial microorganisms. His most impactful contribution is the creation of MACBETH (Multiplex Automated Corynebacterium glutamicum Base Editing Method), a revolutionary platform that enables efficient, multiplexed genome editing in the industrially important bacterium *Corynebacterium glutamicum*. Published in 2018, this work has garnered 184 citations, underscoring its significance in streamlining strain engineering for amino acid and biochemical production. By combining CRISPR base editing with automation, MACBETH dramatically accelerates the design-build-test cycle, allowing simultaneous modification of multiple genomic loci without double-strand breaks. This innovation has broad implications for sustainable biotechnology, enabling rapid optimization of microbial cell factories. Sun's work stands at the intersection of tool development and applied microbiology, providing the community with robust methods to engineer complex phenotypes. His research not only advances fundamental understanding of bacterial genetics but also offers practical solutions for industrial fermentation, making him a key figure in the transition toward greener chemical manufacturing.
