Project description
 

A main challenge for the future economy is the transition to a bio-based industry. This transition requires the development of cost competitive production processes. Colocalization of enzymes for the production of fine chemicals is a proven approach to increase the product yield. In this project, I
will develop the ‘scaffoldomics’ platform, particularly for a maximized production of plant flavonoids.
