CO₂ Valorization Scientist: Artificial Cells & Microreactors

Italian Ministry of Education, University and Research; Italia; In loco; EUR 40.000 - 60.000; Tempo pieno

Descrizione del lavoro

The research activity will focus on designing artificial cells that convert CO₂ into amino acids, peptides and metabolites. These biomimetic systems will be giant lipid vesicles containing organelles, purified enzymes and synthetic components.

The researcher will enable artificial metabolic networks and microreactors for CO₂ fixation, contribute to cyanobacterial cultivation, isolation of functional carboxysomes, and enzyme expression for synthetic pathways.
