Excited that my collaboration with Sue Roberts is now published!! Our awesome student Cassandra used crispr to epigenetically modify Taxus plant cell lines! She focused on repressing phenylpropanoid biosynthesis to boost paclitaxel production.

Just got back from the beautiful English garden here in Munich! Come by Poster 90 today or tomorrow where I’ll be talking about iterative design-of-experiments for genetic design optimization! #metabolicengineering #ME12

Scientists are building a completely synthetic yeast cell, engineered to have its genome SCRaMbLEd. My lab is now also using the technology to create better industrial #yeasts. Know more? Read our comment in @NatureComms HERE: rdcu.be/PbIW @VIBLifeSciences @LeuvenU
