Research opportunities in the lab exist in the following general areas

• microbial systems biology: sugar signaling/metabolism and gene expression regulation
• genome scale modelling of metabolic and signalling pathways using Flux Balance analysis (FBA) and Petri Nets
• microorganisms as cell factories for industrial biotechnology
• increase of the predictability and control of biological production systems
• self-assembling proteins and moonlighting proteins characterization
• role of mobile genetic elements in bacteria metabolism
• investigating novel genetic circuits as potential targets for new atibacterial agents
• application of synthetic biology for microbial biotechnology
•  validation of in silico models
