Synthetic biology and metabolic engineering have and will continue to develop new biosynthetic routes and hosts for the production of chemicals, biopolymers and fuels. As such we can reduce our reliance on petrol-chemical based feedstocks by providing new sustainable production routes for drop in chemicals and develop new chemical entities with advanced properties. Key to the success of the engineering biology approaches, is the ability to sense and regulate the associated molecules and genes/pathways. This post will develop genetic tools, based on allosteric transcription factors and to employ these tools to fine tune the expression/metabolic flux in suitable production host.
We are looking for a research associate to join our team as part of a BBSRC project entitled, Sustainable biocatalytic approaches to pyridine and piperidine heterocycles.
