nederlandse samenvatting
¡Muchas gracias! I have had a great time during my PhD. This adventure was ama-zing due to the support of many people. Here, I want to express my gratitude to all of you.
Specially, I am very thankful to my supervisor, Oscar Kuipers. I enjoyed
very much to work with you. Your pre-sence makes MolGen an exciting, fun, and inspiring place to be. But not only at work, going to conferences with you and enjoying some agua de Valencia together was fun. I appreciate your guidance and wise advice on how to become a Scientist. A big thank you for allowing me to develop my own research projects, for supporting me and for not stopping me. More than giving me freedom, you promoted my creativity and guided me.
I am also very grateful to Jan Kok.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge about the famous bacterium Lactoccoccus
lac-tis. Getting advices from you is always
inspiring, and certainly you helped me
to find the origins of uninvestigated and old L. lactis strains.
My PhD was possible due to the work with Herwig Bachmann and Bas Teu-sink. Together with Rinke van Taten-hove, thank you for your advices and
feedback during our regular meetings. I am very happy about the results we obtained during the development of our microdroplets project.
Thanks to Andrius Buivydas, my first
supervisor at MolGen during my master internship, for believing in me and sup-porting me to pursue a PhD at MolGen. Likewise, thanks to Ana Solopova, my
daily supervisor at the beginning of my PhD, for helping me and motivate me to work with L. lactis metabolism. I enjoyed sharing fun moments with both of you at conferences and visiting you in Cork. Querido Manolo, gracias también a
ti por hacerme sentir parte de MolGen desde el principio, hace ya varios años. Qué divertido ha sido compartir tiempo,
