This research transforms wood waste into bio-based protection agents for construction timber. Using green extraction methods and enzymatic modification, natural compounds are isolated and enhanced to replace toxic chemical treatments. Laboratory testing confirms their antimicrobial, antioxidant, and weather-resistant properties, supporting sustainable wood protection and circular economy principles.

This research tackles antibiotic resistance by developing nano-scale microfluidic cultures that isolate and study previously unculturable bacteria. By screening rare microbes and directly testing their antimicrobial activity, the platform accelerates discovery of new antibiotics, offering a powerful tool against drug-resistant superbugs.
