Assistant Professor at the Department of Biology and Biological Engineering, Chalmers University of Technology.
Background
I obtained a MSc degree in Biotechnology at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in 2007, where I later also completed my PhD thesis under the supervision of ^^^Harry Brumer^^^, focusing on xyloglucan degradation [1, 2, 3]. After working as a postdoctoral fellow with Phil Pope and ^^^Vincent Eijsink^^^ at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU), working on chitin degradation [4], I was in 2015 appointed Assistant Professor at Chalmers University of Technology. My research focuses primarily on enzyme (CAZyme) discovery coupled to structural and biochemical characterization.
I have contributed to structure-function studies of CAZymes from various families, including GH5 [2], GH18, GH31 [1, 2, 5], GH35 [3], and CE15 [6].
