Ribo HUANG
Profile:
Elected Academician of the International Eurasian Academy of Sciences in 2020, Professor Ribo Huang is a distinguished Chinese bioengineer whose research and professional work have focused on enzyme engineering, biocatalysis, and the high-value utilisation of biomass resources. Born in July 1958, he is a member of the Zhuang ethnic group and a non-partisan figure. He received his Ph.D. in Science and has developed a career combining scientific research with science administration and regional public service. He previously served as Vice Chairman of the People’s Government of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Vice Chairman of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, President of the Guangxi Association for Science and Technology, and President of the Guangxi Academy of Sciences. He currently serves as Director of the National Key Laboratory of Non-Food Biomass Energy Technology and Professor at the Guangxi Academy of Sciences.

Professor Huang’s research has focused on enzyme engineering, biocatalysis, and the high-value utilisation of biomass resources, with particular emphasis on developing biotechnological processes for converting agricultural and industrial by-products into high-value biochemicals and bioenergy. During his doctoral studies in the United Kingdom, he developed a stepwise release method for microbial intracellular products. Following his return to China, he led the development and industrial application of several technologies, including the extraction of superoxide dismutase (SOD) from pig blood and the microbial fermentation production of hyaluronic acid, both of which were subsequently commercialised. In recent years, his research has extended to the intersection of artificial intelligence and biotechnology, including the use of large language models and generative AI in enzyme engineering and the development of an “AI + Biocatalysis” innovation framework. Through his continued involvement in national key laboratories, major research programmes, and scientific collaboration, Professor Huang has contributed to the development of bioengineering approaches for sustainable biomanufacturing, biomass utilisation, and the application of digital technologies in biotechnology.
