It is a great honor for us to receive such an award. In this research, we developed an AI model for predicting ethanol production by monitoring yeast morphology under stressed conditions with high glucose. We are sure that it will contribute to the production management of targeted bioproducts or optimization of its monitoring. We would like to express our deepest gratitude to everyone who supported us. Receiving this award will only make us more determined to work harder for the advancement of the Department of Integrated Biosciences by producing more and more research outcomes.
