Adam Feist, a UC San Diego bioengineering alumnus (PhD) together with electrical current Project Scientist, has been awarded the Jay Bailey Young Investigator Award from the Society for Biological Engineering. The mag Metabolic Engineering sponsored the 2018 award, together with they lay together a squeamish even out near Adam Feist together with his run inward the Systems Biology Research Group run yesteryear UC San Diego bioengineering professor Bernhard Palsson.
One of the things Feist industrial plant on, and discusses inward the article, is harnessing evolution equally a tool.
“Dr. Feist supervises together with leads the design, evolution together with implementation of over $1 1 yard m worth of equipment for adaptive laboratory evolution studies. ‘The evolution platforms nosotros accept are genuinely tangible things, machines working inward the lab, doing dissimilar tasks,’ he said. ‘It’s fascinating, instead of modeling, where nosotros predict what nosotros desire to engineer, nosotros plough that on its caput together with inquire the cells to figure it out themselves. It’s eye-opening that the cells tin produce this.’”
Feist is also Senior Researcher together with Group Leader at the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Biosustainability, Technical University of Kingdom of Denmark (DTU).
