Professor Shota Atsumi is affiliated with the Department of Chemistry at the University of California, Davis. His research focuses on synthetic biology, metabolic engineering, and microbial chemical production, particularly for biofuels, rare sugars, and human milk oligosaccharides.
He leads the Atsumi Lab, which has secured grants such as the NSF EFRI ELiS grant (award #2223537) for 3D-printed living materials and an NIGMS R01 grant for HMO production. His lab trains students and researchers in biocatalysis, carbon fixation, and microbial systems, with alumni like Jayce Taylor (PhD 2020-2024) and Jake Gonzales (PhD 2018-2023).
He has served as an Associate Editor for Microbial Cell Factories and presented at conferences like the Metabolic Engineering Conference 16 (2025) and SynBioBeta 2024. His work bridges synthetic biology with material science to address sustainability in construction and chemical production.
