Biography

Greg Bokinsky is an associate professor in the Department of Bionanoscience at TU Delft. He received his PhD in Chemistry from Harvard University in 2007, where he utilized single-molecule fluorescence techniques to study RNA folding and DNA-protein interactions. Following his PhD, Greg completed a postdoctoral fellowship focused on synthetic biology and metabolic engineering at the University of California at Berkeley, developing a strong passion for understanding metabolic regulation in live cells. He joined the faculty at TU Delft in 2014, where his research interests lie in applying fundamental insights to develop practical solutions, particularly in turning bacteria into factories for producing bactericidal antibiotics. Greg leads a research group that employs a diverse range of techniques, such as targeted metabolomics, proteomics, metabolic modeling, live-cell microscopy, and microfluidics, to explore the compatibility of iron-sulfur cluster enzymes in non-native cellular hosts and manipulate membrane synthesis and repair in bacterial systems. Current projects include studying the mapping of enzyme compatibility and engineering antibiotic synthesis pathways in bacteria. Further information about his research can be found on the Bokinsky lab website.
