After doing her semester project in our group, Dana has decided to stay for a Ph.D.! Her background in Computational Science and Engineering will guide her in her project about modeling diabetes! Welcome to the group!
This week we attended the conference WellCome Synthetic Biology for Health and Sustainability at Hinxton, UK. Asli held a very interesting presentation on her work, titled "Evolverator: An engineered in cellulo yeast system to drive rapid continuous evolution of proteins". It gave great insight on the process of driving direct evolution in synthetic biology, as well as the amazing results that she has achieved. You did a great job!
