Talent4BBI PhD 1 - Yeast bioprocess development using systems and synthetic biology

Yeast bioprocess development using systems and synthetic biology

This project aims to develop yeast strains, which will be endowed with the ability to convert low value feedstocks into protein rich biomass. The target organisms will be analysed by -omics approach, and their metabolism will be tuned using adaptive laboratory evolution and synthetic biology tools to increase the amino acids synthesis and protein content of the cell. The strains designed in the first phase of the project will be used to develop a bioprocess which will be tested in lab and pilot scale.

The research will be conducted at both Alltech and BiOrbic/UCD facilities. The first phase of the project, which involves systems analysis of the target organisms will be performed in Alltech, as well as the final phase of testing the designed strain for production at scale. The strain development phase of the project will be executed in BiOrbic/UCD.  

This is a Marie Curie COFUND Position based in Ireland with Industry ( AllTech) and Academic Partner (University College Dublin)
