Within the EU project EmPowerPutida, at ETH Zurich I work on the development of novel biosensors for high-throughput screening of industrially relevant chemicals. In addition, I am interested in synthetic metabolic engineering strategies for improved biocatalysts.
My work here in Wageningen University is about developing tools for the editing of the genome of Pseudomonas putida.
At the moment I am working on developing an efficient method for deleting and adding genes on the genome through the application of engineering principles/Synthetic Biology.
At the Institute for Technical Biochemistry, University of Stuttgart, Rebecca Demming and Max-Philipp Fischer are working on the engineering of enzymes to allow the production of small alkenes via fermentation. Both want to establish a novel route based on the dehydration of short-chain alcohols. Promising enzymes will be characterised in detail.

As a part of the EmPowerPutida project, my research at the Systems and Synthetic Biology group of Wageningen University Research aims to explore diverse genome engineering techniques to increase the genetic toolbox of Pseudomonas putida, which will be applied, amongst others, to the development of a series of robust and intrinsic biosafety strategies.
Robert NitschelI am Robert, currently a Ph.D. student at the Institute of Biochemical Engineering in Stuttgart. My work in this project is focused on the development and engineering of sensor systems for the biotechnological application in Pseudomonas putida.
Within the EU project EmPowerPutida, at the Institute of Biochemical Engineering in Stuttgart I work on developing an engineering framework to support Robert Nitschel in developing sensor systems for P. putida.
My name is Huseyin Tas and I come from Turkey. I am a PhD Student contributing to the EmPowerPutida project from The Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) in Madrid, Spain. My roles in this joint effort involve [i] development of standards for rigorous metrology of the gene expression flow in Pseudomonas putida (and by extension, in other prokaryotes) and [ii] designing a biological computation layer that senses environmental and/or endogenous cues and brings about specific responses of interest for environmental and industrial applications in our favorite microorganism.
At the Systems and Synthetic Biology group of Wageningen University and Research I focus on bio-engineering the lifestyle of Pseudomonas putida. Our research is fuelled through an integration of semantics and model-driven systems biology, building a bridge between in silico, in vitro and in vivo experimentation. Examples of my work include increasing the robustness of Pseudomonas putida to higher temperatures and to micro-oxic to anaerobic conditions.
As a PhD in Wageningen University & Research, my contribution to the EmPowerPutida Project involves using Genome-Scale metabolic models to understand and improve chemical production capacities of Pseudomonas putida.
As Ph.D. student at the Institute of Biochemical Engineering at the University of Stuttgart I will investigate the benefits that empowers Pseudomonas putida as preferred microbial host for large scale production processes. Furthermore, I will develop a bioprocess strategy for the biotechnological application of P. putida.
As a PhD candidate of Systems and Synthetic biology group, Wageningen, I contribute on
the metabolic/genetic design of novel Pseudomonas putida strains. In particular, my role is
to design strains able to overproduce valuable chemicals by using genome-scale metabolic
modelling and the most recent genetic engineering technologies.
