At NTNU, a central part of the project is the development of more predictable and efficient methods for the refactoring and heterologous expression of biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs).   The PhD project will investigate how regulatory DNA elements, BGC architecture and microbial host selection influence the expression of complex biosynthetic pathways. Molecular biology, microbial strain engineering and synthetic biology will be combined with AI-supported design of promoters, 5′ untranslated regions and other regulatory elements. The resulting data will be used to establish more predictable design principles for BGC expression and to support iterative AI-guided design–build–test–learn cycles.  The precise scope of the doctoral project will be refined according to the candidate’s qualifications, the BGCs prioritised in AIMARIA and the scientific development of the project.   The PhD candidate will work closely with a researcher recruited to the same scientific activity and with national and international partners in the AIMARIA consortium.
