About this job
If you are a metabolic engineer with a passion for precision fermentation of bulk chemicals and a drive to push microbial cell factories beyond their natural limits, this is your opportunity. At DTU, you will work at the cutting edge of isoprenoid pathway engineering, deploying and optimising biosynthetic routes in next-generation microbial hosts¨, rewired to to thrive on sustainable P2X feedstocks — with real potential to reshape how the chemical industry sources its building blocks. Responsibilities and qualifications You will design, engineer, and optimize microbial strains for the biosynthesis of isoprenoid molecules, working across both the MEP and MVA pathways to debottleneck production and ultimately deploy the resulting pathways in P2X-assimilating cell factories and assess their…
