At Neoplants, the Innovation team is interested in developing new technologies, and especially for accelerated continuous evolution of proteins.
The Innovation team is interested in biomolecules, able to radically change the appearance and/or the scent of ornamental plants. As an intern at Neoplants, you will be involved in working on a plethora of pathways known to produce pigments or fragrant molecules and to optimize their activity in order to achieve a radical change in the plant color or scent.
In order to achieve this goal, you will perform:
Literature review to identify the most promising pathways in Silico
Plasmid construction of those pathways using modular cloning technology
Transient implementation of best candidates in the plants
Develop analytical methods to detect the metabolic products of the selected pathways
This internship will allow you to conduct a project using molecular biology, microbiology, plant transformation and analytical chemistry.
You will also get the chance to discover the working environment of an R&D lab in a dynamic and vibrant startup.
