We are the Molecular Evolution research group at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands. We represent a small yet awesome group of PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, and undergraduate students with a passion for applying and repurposing the Darwinian algorithm.
In practice, we make use of biological selections to identify tailored biomolecules from vast populations of modified bacteriophages or recoded bacteria. We like our approaches as they rely on our creativity and problem-solving skills to overcome the myriad of challenges we face, when trying to repurpose the Darwinian algorithm.
We also celebrate our successes, go together through failures, and overall, try to have a good time inside and outside of the lab.
