I am thrilled to announce that our lab has joined @Uni_Stuttgart and I have accepted the position as Professor of Technical Biochemistry! I am honored to follow in the footsteps of Prof. Bernhard Hauer, whose contributions to the field are truly inspiring.
We look forward to continue working on #EnzymeDesign, #Biocatalysis, #Biosynthesis and #NonribosomalPeptides. Thanks to Dr Kirti Sharma, Maximilian Müll, and Kexin Zhang for joining me on the journey from @LeibnizHKI to Stuttgart.

#Maize #plants produce #terpene compounds when attacked by Asian corn borer larvae, but when #genes involved in #biosynthesis of these plant volatiles are knocked out, plants are made less attractive to herbivory.
