Hi there, I’m Wim! Welcome to my biotech-passion driven profile! Biotechnology offers sustainable yet competitive alternatives for out-of-touch and polluting technologies, but also presents the hard-sought solutions to unsolved problems. This drives my passion for synthetic biology and metabolic engineering but also for the subsequent fermentations, where development starts in the lab and continues all the way through pilot scale and industry. A passion that I aim to reflect with my career path, one that is vigorously dedicated to biotech research, both now and in the future. Diving more deeply into this, I have a strong interest for biofuel production, C1 metabolism, second generation biomass utilisation and genetic tool development.
