Back to profile profile_subnav_projects - prof.dr. J (John) van der Oost ‘CARFing’ out the signalling network of CRISPR-Cas CRISPR are prokaryotic immune systems associated with nucleic acid degradation. Here, we explore a newly discovered CRISPR-associated signalling... Enzymes in a box: Engineering bacterial microcompartments for biotechnological applications What if we could generate fuels directly just from Carbon dioxide and sunlight? In fact, the tiny green single celled microalgae are capable of doing... Chromosome segregation in Pyrococcus furiosus Very little is known about chromosome segregation in Archaea. The aim of this research is to study chromosome segregation in the extremely... CRISPR-Enhanced: Towards better genome editing nucleases by directed evolution Guided nucleases have revolutionized the field for genetic engineering. Through directed evolution, we aim to improve modern genome engineering... Seizing cell cycle of a synthetic cell The perspective of a synthetic cell makes it possible to rewrite the rules governing life. This project focuses on the cell cycle, aiming at designing...
