Project description
Directed protein evolution in the blink of an eye
Natural evolution took billions of years to generate the macromolecules we know today through cycles of mutation and selection. Mimicking this process in the lab has the potential to produce novel proteins or enzymes of interest for industrial and medical applications. To achieve this, the EU-funded EVOdrops project proposes to introduce a rapid method of genetic diversity generation alongside a microfluidics-based approach for screening and selecting enzyme variants of interest. The project brings together experts in the field of protein engineering and microfluidics who will train young researchers in biotechnology and biomedical applications.
