Our laboratory dedicates its research efforts primarily to enzyme engineering through directed molecular evolution and hybrid/semi-rational and computational design, spanning a broad spectrum of biotechnological applications. Our focus encompasses the development of innovative screening tools, genetic and computational methods for constructing and exploring enzyme libraries. Additionally, we delve into synthetic biology investigations, particularly in the realms of environmental, energy, and industrial applications.
Positions are open for highly motivated postdoctoral researchers, graduate students and undergraduates with backgrounds in biochemistry, molecular biology, chemistry, chemical engineering and computational sciences.
