PhD Position in Enzyme Discovery and Characterization (MSCA DN HALOVERSE DC2) University of Groningen in Netherlands

This PhD project at Leiden University explores a new approach to building biocatalytic nanofactories by packaging biocatalysts inside lipid vesicles during bacterial expression. The work sits at the intersection of synthetic cells , biotechnology , and enzyme engineering, with the aim of creating ready-to-use liposome-encapsulated systems for cascade reactions. You will work on optimising and applying a technology that confines biocatalysts in vesicles while they are produced in bacteria, a stra...

Leiden University in Leiden, The Netherlands, invites applications for a full-time PhD position on Bacterial Packaging of Biocatalytic Nanofactories . The project is embedded in the Leiden Institute of Chemistry and the Macromolecular Biochemistry group within the Faculty of Science, in the laboratory of Prof. Lars Jeuken. The research will develop and exploit a technology for packaging biocatalysts inside lipid vesicles during bacterial expression. The resulting liposome-encapsulated systems wi...
