Background

About Jichen Bao

I am an energetic individual with strong motivation and passion for research and development work. With eight years of research experience in synthetic biology spanning different research fields I am a skilled researcher and highly trained in laboratory techniques. I am ambitious, goal-oriented and curious person who enjoy challenges. Ambition and determination are qualities that have driven me throughout my academic career. I’m eager to put my abilities, experience, skills and knowledge to use in the industrial biotechnology. After achieving my goals within the academia I am now in search for a position within the biotechnological industry. As I quickly embrace new ideas and concepts I would like to put in a new challenging context where I can learn new and develop existing skills. Preferably it would be a position like "molecular biology scientist" or "metabolic engineer" where I would get the chance to use my enthusiasm, drive and scientific skills from another perspective. During my PhD study, I was working on improving recombinant protein production in yeast. I have constructed hundreds of plasmids and strains by using the classic molecular cloning methods and the new technologies such as CRISPR/Cas9, Gibson cloning, DNA assembly. More than 100 bioreactors of fermentation were run by myself. I believe my set of skills and my knowledge would enable me to be the person who can hit the ground running.
