During the first three years of my Ph.D., I was part of the 'Protein Factory' consortium, funded by Marie Sklodowska-Curie Innovative training networks (ITN-ETN) My Ph.D project consisted on1. Enhancing protein secretion via the twin-arginine of B. subtilis by employing biochemical and molecular methods. 2. Characterizing the secretion stress caused by twin-arginine protein translocation3. Employing proteomics and transcriptomics techniques to further characterize the physiology… Show more During the first three years of my Ph.D., I was part of the 'Protein Factory' consortium, funded by Marie Sklodowska-Curie Innovative training networks (ITN-ETN) My Ph.D project consisted on1.

Employing proteomics and transcriptomics techniques to further characterize the physiology of protein secretion in Bacillus subtilis to develop a new generation of super secreting strains.4. Elucidating the effects of high-level protein production on cell physiology Show less

Participated in a €3 million Marie/Sklowdowska-Curie ITN involving 15 Ph.D. candidates and multiple industry partners (Novozymes, UCB, FGen, DSM, Abera) to develop the next generation of 'Super Secreting' B. subtilis and E. coli strains
