Eric Young

Assistant professor. PI of the YoungLab@WPI. We engineer yeast, bacteria, and mammalian cells. Always ready to talk transport proteins.

Excited that my collaboration with Sue Roberts is now published!! Our awesome student Cassandra used crispr to epigenetically modify Taxus plant cell lines! She focused on repressing phenylpropanoid biosynthesis to boost paclitaxel production.

I'm happy to announce that I will be an instructor for the 2023 @cshlsynbio course!

I'm also happy to share that my colleague Michelle O’Malley (UCSB) will be a guest speaker! Attendees can attend a small-group lecture and chat. Apply by April 1, 2023 https://t.co/k4lQMv43XU

@jennbrophy7 @hsalis @unattermann @Geneticdesigner Great to see you as well!! Very impressive updates from everyone. Inspiring!

[Eric Young @ericmyces]

Check out my SynBYSS talk for updates on what we're doing in sequencing, yeast synthetic biology, and fungal highways! #SynBYSS

[WPI @WPI]

With support from @IARPAnews & @Raytheon, #WPI chemical engineer @ericmyces is identifying genetic signatures for a biosecurity tool that will find engineered organisms in the wild. https://t.co/M7VpsbwZdP #DNA #biotechnology

So good to see Alper Lab alums and current members at #me12! It was a great conference - excellent talks, strong posters. Already looking forward to another reunion at me13!

[Eric Young @ericmyces]

Just got back from the beautiful English garden here in Munich! Come by Poster 90 today or tomorrow where I’ll be talking about iterative design-of-experiments for genetic design optimization! #metabolicengineering #ME12

[Eric Young @ericmyces]

Excited to be in Munich for #me12!
