Projects for Bachelors and Masters Students

We usually have openings for enthusiastic and hard-working Masters students in our group, depending upon the availability of lab members who are able to supervise students. We have hosted students pursuing their Bachelor and Masters End Projects from Nanobiology, Life Sciences and Technology, and Applied Physics programs.

Currently, BEP/MEP projects will be focused on membrane metabolism. Contact g.e.bokinsky ((at)) tudelft.nl for more information.

Metabolic regulation of bacterial fatty acid biosynthesis. Fatty acid synthesis (FAS) provides the essential building blocks of cell membranes. FAS is coupled to growth and is extensively regulated via internal and external feedback loops. We explore how FAS metabolism is regulated in response to growth, starvation, and other external stresses to ensure sufficient and balance membrane synthesis. We use mass spectroscopy, synthetic biology, and live-cell microscopy to pursue our questions.
