BIOTECH-PRODUCTS LABORATORY
TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE
Associate Professor Dr. Joo Shun TAN (陈裕声）
In 2015, I joined Bioprocess Technology Division, School of Industrial Technology, Universiti Sains Malaysia as senior lecturer, and becomes an Associate Professor. I obtained first degree from Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman in BSc. (Biotechnology). I then pursued my PhD degree in the field of Bioprocess Engineering from Institute of Science, Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) and graduated in 2012. Founder and director of a spin-off company, Biotenova Sdn. Bhd. (https://www.biotenova.com/).
Biotech-Products Laboratory (tanjooshun.weebly.com and facebook.com/BiotechProductsLab) is a platform for me to record the bits and pieces in life and keep the track of growth.
Teaching Philosophy:
To construct and instill the quality of thinking and learning skills integrated with positive attitude in our young generation. Equipping students with Mindsets, Essential Skills, & Habits they need to succeed in college, career, and life. We need to provide students not just with opportunities to practice skills in isolation, but with opportunities to ‘play the whole game’ of different learning areas. So we should question on “How do you support yourself and others to move into an unknown future?”
Past Experience:
From 2012 to 2015, I served as post-doctoral researcher at Universiti Putra Malaysia dealing with biomanufacturing and bioprocessing projects. I also involved actively in public services. Since 2012, I have been the consultant for several biotechnology-based companies such as Felda Global Ventures, Microwell Sdn Bhd, Pascal Biotech Sdn Bhd and VegaBios Sdn Bhd.
Professional Organization:
Research Interests:
My research interests focused on the bioprocessing, biorefining and biomanufacturing. The main activity is to perform research related to the development of biomanufacturing for the production of various ranges of biotechnology products. The major aim is to discover new principles and options for industrial applications, with optimal and economic use of available resources for the development of green sustainable products and bioprocesses.
I have strong fundamental knowledge and skills in the bioprocessing, biorefinery and biomanufacturing design, which include bioreactor design and operation, enzyme and fermentation technology, biomass technology, downstream processing and bioseparation, process control and optimization, and bioprocess scaling-up.
