    Engineering Eukaryotic organisms

    My research focus is engineering eukaryotic cells in a synthetic biology realm. I work with single cell organisms like S. cerevisiae (buddy yeast) as well as mammalian cells lines like U2OS, 786-O and 3T3. (I have also some brief experience with mouse stem cells)

    I am implementing genetic "devices" which involves a lot of cloning and some mathematical modeling. My goal is to learn from device building and if they actually work, to use them for biomedical applications and fundamental research in Biology.

    In my spare time, I grow cyanobacteria in the microscope for single-cell experiments.
