Westra Lab
After my PhD in the lab of Prof. John van der Oost at Wageningen University on the molecular mechanism and regulation of CRISPR-Cas immune systems (2009-2013), I started to explore the evolutionary ecology of CRISPR-Cas immune systems as a Marie-Curie Fellow in the lab of Prof. Angus Buckling, University of Exeter (2013-2015). I received a NERC Independent Research Fellowship in 2015 to set up my own lab at the University of Exeter, and received further funding from BBSRC, Wellcome Trust and ERC.
