We will use metabolic engineering applications to optimize the metabolic flux through sugar polymer biosynthesis pathways, and improve product yields during fermentation.

What You’ll Do

• Develop computational methods to optimize metabolic flux through sugar polymer biosynthesis pathways.

​

• Create experimental workflows to perform fermentation and collect data.

​

• Collaborate frequently with the Synthetic Biology and Polymer Chemistry teams to optimize sugar polymer biosynthesis pathways in the production strains.

​

• Communicate methods and results both internally with the team and externally with other scientists, industry executives, and academic researchers.

​

• Contribute to the generation and documentation of intellectual property
