These biofuels are made from degradation of agricultural waste, e.g., of wood chips, a process which involves use of redesigned bacterial enzymes. The redesign aims at preventing inhibition of the used enzymes by process products and at enhancing efficiency. The work will be performed in collaboration with experimentalists both at the University of California – Berkeley and at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. The postdoc will interact with first rate researchers in polymer science, bacteriology, plant science and bioengineering and be involved in starting an exciting, completely new research area. Pursuing in connection with biofuel studies bacterial degradation of biomass in general will be encouraged. The new postdoc will join another Energy Biosciences Institute postdoc in my group and will enjoy a well equipped research laboratory and intense research team. > > More information is available in our website (http://tcbg.illinois.edu) and also in the attached announcement. > > Please feel free to share this announcement. > > Best regards, > > Klaus Schulten >

[Compbio-allhands] Mini-course: Information Theory and Biology
by David Sivak 03 Jan '14

03 Jan '14

Hi. You ever noticed how people around here use the word "Information" like it's going out of style? You ever wondered what's the big deal? We (David Sivak, Raj Bhatnagar, Michael Chevalier) plan on getting to the heart of all that in a mini-course at Mission Bay this spring on "Information Theory and Biology." If you have any interest in possibly taking this mini-course, please help us get a sense of numbers and backgrounds by sharing a little information [sorry] about yourself at: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1HtENxOKiXyZXyzq9-4zoK0qWpTklQHLPpZC-UKqQYA… Feel free to pass along to other interested parties. Apologies for any mailing list duplication... Thanks, David -- David Sivak Systems Biology Fellow University of California, San Francisco david.sivak(a)gmail.com davidsivak.com 510-541-9006
