My project focuses on the regulatory mechanisms in bacteria that influence the production of natural products, such as antibiotics. In my research, I develop computational tools and methods to study these regulatory mechanisms, which will ultimately aid in the discovery of novel natural products.
Brief biography
Hannah Augustijn received her Master's degree in Bioinformatics from Wageningen University & Research. Her thesis work focused on the development of a metagenomic and transcriptomic analysis tool for microbiome studies. This work was continued and applied during a research internship at the University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG) by studying human microbiomes. Hannah is currently pursuing her PhD at a shared position between the university of Leiden and Wageningen.
