Engineered biosensors seek high-potential microbes for sustainable bioproduction

Markus Jeschek, Professor of Synthetic Microbiology at the University of Regensburg, Germany, and alumnus of Sven Panke’s Bioprocess lab, receives a prestigious Starting Grant from the European Research Council (ERC). In their project BiosenSAI, Jeschek and his team will build synthetic biosensors which help detect new microbes for the sustainable bioproduction of compounds with valuable properties for the chemical and pharmaceutical industry. Congratulations!
