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.

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 and to find further inspiration for their applications within my own research project. Without a doubt, this was one of the best courses I have taken during my PhD education – the organization and execution of the course was spotless. High-quality lectures were spiced with interesting exercises, relevant examples and talks by industry. Additionally, the course provided a great platform for social networking. I would recommend this course to those who are working on the development/improvement of industrial microbes and would like to have a coherent overview of the state-of-the-art ‘omics tools with hands on experience and relevant examples. This course requires some prior knowledge on Python and working in a terminal. 2021

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 and I gained state of the art insights that are going to help me a lot. The entry-level of the course is quite high, but with the preparatory materials you will become familiar with the topics. I highly recommend candidates that are less familiar to work them through. The course itself had a nice balance of lectures, practical exercises and talks about different applications of the techniques. The organisation of the course left no room for improvement and I can recommend it to everyone who wants to get an overview of this emerging field. 2021
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
