??Research overview

Prof. Volschenk's research program takes a comprehensive approach to advancing the field of microbiology, integrating fundamental studies of microbial physiology with applied research in synthetic biology and bioautomation. At the core of his work is a focus on understanding the complex mechanisms underlying yeast physiology, employing functional bioinformatics techniques to unravel the intricate workings of these microorganisms. This foundational knowledge then serves as a springboard for his team's efforts in synthetic biology, where they leverage the power of genetic engineering and automation to push the boundaries of microbial cell factories. By adopting a systems biology perspective, Prof. Volschenk's research aims to develop a holistic understanding of microbial systems and their potential applications in biotechnology.
