About
Yuhao Min is a pioneering synthetic biologist whose work has fundamentally advanced genome-scale engineering in eukaryotic systems. His most impactful contribution, the landmark 2017 paper "Automated multiplex genome-scale engineering in yeast" (201 citations), introduced the first automated platform for multiplex genome-scale engineering in Saccharomyces cerevisiae—a critical breakthrough that extended these powerful tools beyond bacterial systems into eukaryotic biology. This work established a transformative framework for understanding and engineering yeast, an essential model organism and industrial workhorse, enabling unprecedented parallel manipulation of genomic targets. Min's research sits at the intersection of synthetic biology, metabolic engineering, and automation, where he has developed high-throughput methods to accelerate the design-build-test-learn cycle. His contributions have opened new avenues for producing biofuels, pharmaceuticals, and biochemicals, while also deepening our fundamental understanding of eukaryotic genetics. By bridging the gap between bacterial and eukaryotic genome engineering, Min has created a lasting impact on the field, empowering researchers worldwide to tackle complex biological questions with greater speed and precision.
