Novel insights in transport mechanisms and kinetics of phenylacetic acid and penillin-G in Penicillium chrysogenum (submitted for publication). Teaching and Tutoring Experience 2006-2007 Teaching students at pre-university college with the science project: “DNA labs” of the TU Delft 2010 Guest Lecturer and teacher Molecular Cell Biology at University of Leiden Personal text During my bachelor study Life Science & Technology at the University of Leiden and Technical University of Delft in The Netherlands, my interest for industrial biotechnology and more specified metabolic engineering was initiated. Especially tutors like Sef Heijnen or Jack Pronk launched my enthusiasm for the masters program of ‘Cells as Factories’ and for field of Systems & Synthetic Biology. In the autumn of 2010 I became a member of the Systems and Synthetic Biology group at Chalmers, where I am participating as a Phd student. I am involved in a renewable energy project that deserves global interest: Biodiesel production. We are practicing a synthetic approach to implement and modify a metabolic pathway in Saccharomyces cerevisiae resulting in biodiesel production. This research method enjoys personal and scientifically interest and is a promising technology for the future.   I feel fortunate to join my previous interests into one project and to get the opportunity to participate and contribute to the very nice research environment in the ‘Nielsen’s group’.
