Our lab will accept two master’s thesis students (local/ international/ Erasmus academic exchange). The first project will focus on engineering of carotenoid pathway in non-conventional yeast Rhodotorula toruloides (as industrially important food colorants, pigments, pro-vitamins, and antioxidants). The second project will focus on engineering of lipid metabolism in non-conventional yeast Rhodotorula toruloides(as industrially important macronutrients, essential fatty .
