Multi-Omics approaches for Improvement of Industrial Microbes

Course introduction

The advanced course Multi-Omics approaches for Improvement of Industrial Microbes aims to offer a coherent overview of current state of the art omics technologies, bridging the different cellular levels, i.e. metabolomics, fluxomics, transcriptomics and proteomics. It will be shown how integrated application of these technologies provides holistic, quantitative insights in cellular physiology. Finally, it will be demonstrated how targets for (further) improvement of industrial microbes can be identified through integration of omics data with modelling approaches.

‘This was one of the best courses I have taken during my PhD education’

Greta Gecse

Industrial PhD student at DSM and DTU (Technical University of Denmark) Working with fermentation and bacterial cell physiology, my interest naturally shifted towards the ‘omics technologies which are essential state-of-the-art tools for intelligent microbial host design. I participated on this course to deepen my knowledge on the ‘omics approaches Read more
‘I gained state of the art insights that are going to help me a lot’

Tim Krempel

Modelling Analyst at EV-Biotech In my career so far I have mostly worked with genome-scale metabolic model to improve industrial microorganisms. I decided to follow the advanced multi-omics course to get a broader overview also about the different -omic techniques and how to integrate them into my work. The course exceeded my expectations Read more
‘One of the highlights of the course was the remarkable atmosphere’

Ivo Tjalma

EngD, TU Delft As someone with limited practical experience in strain engineering, this course provided an invaluable opportunity for me to catch up on the emerging possibilities offered by multi-omics approaches. The course was very well organized and surpassed my expectations in numerous ways. The content was completely up-to-date, and the instructors' depth of knowledge was impressive. Read more
