Stephen has been awarded UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship! This is a huge boost for our lab's research, which we will use to launch the MICRO-CAT project 2020. This ambitious project aims to construct new modified microbial cells that can produce an increased range of indutsrial chemicals from sustainable feedstocks using a unique combination of synthetic biology and synthetic chemistry. With this comes funding for two PDRAs and a research technician from 2020. Please contact Stephen directly if you are interested in applying for any of these posts.
