🌎Meet our secondees: Jurre Steens from 🇳🇱 to 🇮🇹 Nano-ImmunoERA. Jurre will bring his expertise about type III CRISPR-Cas and will work on integration of this technology (🇳🇱 => 🇮🇹)
Jurre obtained a Master’s degree in Medical Biotechnology at the Wageningen University, he is currently doing a PhD in the Laboratory of Microbiology in the Bacterial Genetics group of Prof. John van der Oost under the supervision of Asoc. Prof. Raymond Staals and Prof. John van der Oost.
The research focusses on fundamental type III CRISPR-Cas biology with an emphasis on the molecular mechanisms and biochemistry. Besides this, the fundamental knowledge is being leveraged for application in nucleic acid diagnostics. As co-founder and CTO of the Wageningen University spin-off Scope Biosciences, he focusses on bringing point-of-use diagnostics to the market.
In Nano-ImmunoEra he is involved in bringing expertise about type III CRISPR-Cas and will work on integration of this technology into the project.
