PROJECT SPOTLIGHT

Engineering the secretory pathways of yeast

Yeast fermentation is a multi-billion dollar global industry, at the basis of many new Synthetic Biology companies. A key aspect of this technology is being able to efficiently excrete high value protein products from the yeast cells which significantly simplifies downstream purification.

 

This project is open to Honours and Masters students
