PhD in Design of Synthetic Chromosomes for Improved Cell Engineering Imperial College London in United Kingdom

Funded PhD project in synthetic microbial communities , microbial co-cultures , fermentation , and food biotechnology at Imperial College London in collaboration with A*STAR Singapore . The project focuses on designing nutritionally complete microbial food ingredients from mixed co-cultures of safe fungi, yeasts, and bacteria. Research activities include community design, optimisation of culture conditions and media, pilot-scale fermentation up to 200 litres, and nutritional/functional character...

Funded PhD project in genomic stability , metabolic stability , precision fermentation , metabolic engineering , synthetic biology , and biotechnology focused on engineered Yarrowia lipolytica strains. The project is a three-year collaboration between Imperial College London and A*STAR SIFBI in Singapore. The research asks why engineered yeast strains lose productivity during large-scale fermentation and how to improve robustness during scale-up. The work combines functional genomics in Singapor...

Funded PhD opportunity at Imperial College London in collaboration with A*STAR Singapore on co-cultivation of fungi and yeasts for protein- and fat-rich food ingredients . The project sits at the intersection of microbiology , biotechnology , food production , fermentation , and bioprocess scale-up . You will study microbial co-cultures that combine protein-rich filamentous fungi with fat-rich oleaginous yeasts such as Yarrowia lipolytica and Rhodotorula toruloides . Research tasks include ident...
