I hold the position of Researcher with Docent (Reader/Associate Prof-equivalent) in Biotechnology at the KTH Division of Glycoscience in Stockholm, Sweden. I am principal investigator for the Stockholm CAZyme group. And, since January 2023, I am a vice-director for a national PhD Academy in Sweden, financed by the Wallenberg Wood Science Centre network. I studied for my Biochemistry BSc, Environmental Biogeochemistry MSc, and Carbohydrate Enzymology PhD in my home town, at Newcastle University, UK. My doctoral research focussed on structure-function analysis of GH43 enzymes [1] [2] and was supervised by Professor Harry Gilbert. I spent almost two years with Harry at the Complex Carbohydrate Research Centre at UGA, Georgia, USA. Shortly after completing my PhD, I moved to Stockholm to begin a post-doctoral scholarship position supervised by Professor Harry Brumer [3] [4], before he moved to UBC in Canada. When Harry moved, I worked with Prof Vincent Bulone [5] [6] until I secured my own independent funding and could begin to run my own team and projects. My main interests are the discovery and characterisation of glycoside hydrolases, glycosyltransferases, polysaccharide utilisation loci [7] [8], and carbohydrate binding modules (especially family CBM92 [9]), with a particular focus on environmental bacteria from soil, marine, and industrial ecosystems [10] [11].
