Worth the wait!! Our (@Jack_Pronk_ Sophie) review on 'pathway engineering strategies for improved product yield in yeast-based industrial ethanol production' is now online and can be accesed using the following link: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

A nice article in C2W, explaining what I did and what I'm planning to do! The story is in Dutch, but feel free to ask me what's in the there if you're interested, or try google translate😉 sciencelink.net/nieuws-and-ver…

Just registered for the ISSY36 conference on July 12-17, already looking forward to it!!

After many years of work I am proud to announce that our paper on humanization of glycolysis in yeast is finally out! Full humanization of the glycolytic pathway in Saccharomyces cerevisiae cell.com/cell-reports/f…

Poster printing! Getting ready for ISSY36

Proud to (poster) present my work at ISSY36

Very interesting presentation about the great work of Sophie and Robert Mans from Industrial Microbiology - TU Delft

And also a very clear presentation by Maxime den Ridder, another colleague from Industrial Microbiology - TU Delft!

My manuscript entitled: "An engineered non-oxidative glycolytic bypass based on Calvin-cycle enzymes enables anaerobic co-fermentation of glucose and sorbitol by Saccharomyces cerevisiae", has been accepted for publication in Biotechnology for Biofuels and Bioproducts!! 🥳

It was very exciting to present my work at MB8.0 today!

Aafke van Aalst flash talk is about CO2-dependent anaerobic co-fermentation of glucose and sorbitol to increase ethanol yields VIB Conferences VIB #microbes22

I had another chance to present my work, this time at VIB Conferences VIB #microbes22 in Leuven. I had a great time at this very well-organized conference, with many interesting talks and posters, and an enjoyable city walk, topped off with a delicious meal!

I’m excited to be speaking at #FEW23 on engineering redox-cofactor metabolism in Saccharomyces cerevisiae to improve ethanol yield! My talk will be in the afternoon of June 14 (link to full agenda: bit.ly/3jqbY50). I hope to see you in Omaha!

Fifteen recently graduated scholars can do their research at foreign research institutes thanks to a Rubicon grant from NWO and ZonMw. For many researchers, experience abroad is an important step in their career. View the granted projects here: nwo.nl/en/news/fiftee…

I am very happy and grateful that I will be able to conduct my own research at DTU thanks to the Rubicon grant awarded by NWO! I cannot wait to move abroad and start working on the development of orthogonal regulatory systems in yeast to control growth and product formation.
