Junior Research Group TAILOR

In our research, we focus on the design and development of genetic tools that help us to engineer improved host organisms for a sustainable and circular bioeconomy. We focus on establishing standardized workflows that help us to transfer our tools to industrially relevant yeasts.

We also work on new DNA-based molecular tagging strategies to label valuable products for counterfeit protection.

Please contact Dr. Lena Hochrein for more details and discussion about our projects.
