Verstrepen Lab

Organisation profile:Investigating the molecular mechanisms that allow organisms in general, and microbes in particular to swiftly adapt to environmental changes and stress, either through genetic and epigenetic changes, or by adapting gene expression and exploiting biological noise and bet-hedging, translating our findings into applications in white and red biotechnology, generation of superior yeast strains for the production of beer, wine, bread, chocolate, ethanol, biofuel, bioplastics and biochemicals, proteins and pharmaceutics.

Keywords:Yeast, synthetic biology, molecular cell biology

Disciplines:Ecology, Evolutionary biology, Genetics, Microbiology, Other biological sciences, Systems biology
