Responsibilities

I develop a microfluidic chip for parallel in vitro expression of a high number of proteins. This protein chip will serve as the depot area for single-molecule cut-and-paste, adapted to assemble protein complexes one-by-one, such as cellulosomes. Assembly of synthetic cellulosomes will help investigate enhanced enzymatic activities of cellulosomes for the production of biofuels.
