Our research focuses on the optimization of microbial strains and production processes using lab automation, quantitative omics technologies, and bioprocess modeling. Methods and workflows for automated molecular cloning, adaptive laboratory evolution and high-throughput strain phenotyping are being developed and applied to selected model organisms. Our main analytical tools are proteome, metabolome and ¹³C/¹⁵N metabolic flux analysis based on LC-QToF and GC/GC-ToF mass spectrometry.
