Dr. Nico J. Claassens is an Associate Professor at the Laboratory of Microbiology, Wageningen University, The Netherlands. A core activity of his Microbial Synthetic Metabolism group is to develop more rational ways of engineering metabolism and synthetic cells using techniques such as targeted multiplex genetic engineering, quantitative proteomics and evolutionary approaches. A lot of the research in his group focuses on designing and engineering synthetic pathways to support the efficient use of next-generation, sustainable feedstocks, including CO2, hydrogen and one-carbon-substrates,...Read more
