Postdoctoral Fellow Position in systems biology of photosynthesis
The newly opened Burlacot labat the Carnegie Institution for Science (Stanford) is looking for one postdoc to study the response of Chlamydomonas to light fluctuations. Our lab aims to understand the acclimation of photosynthesis to environmental fluctuations and the dynamics of the molecular mechanisms involved. The questions that our lab aims to address are: How … Continued
Two postdoc positions available in the Jonikas lab
From Martin Jonikas: Dear colleagues, I hope you are well. I’m recruiting 2 postdocs on grant-funded positions to study the pyrenoid, a mysterious phase-separated organelle that mediates a third of global CO2 fixation and that we aim to engineer into crops to dramatically increase yields. We have spearheaded the molecular characterization of the pyrenoid, defined its … Continued
Rational promoter engineering for robust transgene expression in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii
Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is an established model for microalgal synthetic biology as well as genetic engineering and has already been used to successfully produce various bioproducts. Nevertheless, limited nuclear transgene expression due the lack of strong expression elements and sparse comparative evaluation of these prevent further development of C. reinhardtii towards a biotechnological host for industrial-relevant … Continued
Passing of Bob Togasaki, long-time Chlamydomonas researcher
Long-time Chlamydomonas researcher and educator, Robert (Bob) K. Togasaki, who was born in San Francisco, California, on July 24, 1932, passed away in Bloomington, Indiana on November 19, 2019. He was a familiar presence at Chlamydomonas meetings over the years where he had many friends and collaborators. Bob’s research career began in the lab of Martin … Continued
