With the help of state-of-the-art synthetic and systems biology technologies, we engineer yeast cells for a vast variety of applications. This includes:
- cell factories for the sustainable production of plant metabolites used as agrochemicals, biofuels, pharmaceuticals or nutraceuticals
- efficient protein producers for the manufacturing of protein drugs
- metabolite sensors to screen for efficient enzyme or pathway variants and to regulate metabolism
- whole-cell biosensors for pathogen detection
