I have received my PhD from Lund University in 2003, where I described the first xylan-specific CBM4 from a GH10 thermostable xylanase [1]. I moved to the other side of the Øresund canal to start a post-doc at the Carlsberg Research Center in the laboratory of Professor Birte Svensson in Copenhagen, working on barley α-amylases and other GH13 enzymes. Thereafter, I moved to the Technical University of Denmark, where I am a Professor MSO at the the Department of Biotechnology and Bioengineering, since 2018. I have been fascianted by fungal enzymes, especially oxidoreductases secreted during growth on polysaccharides [2]. Most of my research has, however, been focused on understanding the protein machinery, especially oligosaccharide transporters, conferring glycan utilisation by members of the human gut microbiota including lactobacilli [3], bifidobacteria [4, 5, 6] and clostridia [7, 8].
