Stuart Angiolini<\/strong> completed his MChem degree at Heriot-Watt University in 2020. During his degree, he completed a yearlong industrial placement with Fiberlean Technologies in Cornwall, working on development of paper and packaging additives using microfibrillated cellulose. Stuart will be working on merging enzymes with chemocatalysts, giving new routes to make and functionalise molecules.<\/p>\n

Isobel Cordrey<\/strong> received her BSc in Biological Sciences (Biotechnology) from the University of Edinburgh. She is now working on synthetic biology approaches for heterologous expression of biosynthetic pathways in Actinobacteria, both in Manchester and at A*STAR in Singapore.<\/p>\n

Sebastian Cuesta<\/strong> received his BSc in Chemical Science from Catholic University of Ecuador & an MSc in Drug Discovery and translational Biology from the University of Edinburgh, Scotland. Sebastian will be working on the discovery, characterisation and evolution of new enzymes for antibiotic biosynthesis and nucleic acid therapeutics.<\/p>\n

Sydney Flower <\/strong>obtained her MSci in Biochemistry from the University of Birmingham. She will be working on antibiotic synthesis pathways with Jason and genetic engineering for natural product synthesis in Halomonas with Prof Guo-Qiang Chen at Tsinghua University.<\/p>\n

Elsa Prendergast<\/strong> from the University of Manchester, UK…<\/p>\n

Luke Yates<\/strong> completed his MSci at the University of East Anglia, with a year abroad spent in Australia at the University of Technology Sydney.\u00a0 His project at the MIB involves the discovery, characterisation and engineering of new ligase enzymes for more sustainable amide bond synthesis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
