Jens Eklöf took his M.Sc.Eng. at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) and did his Ph.D. with Harry Brumer at the department of Glycoscience, KTH. His main focus areas are enzymes acting on the plant polysaccharide xyloglucan with special emphasis on the plant xth-gene product family of GH16. He has also been working with pectin methylesterases from Carbohydrate family 8 (CE8). His Ph. D. thesis entitled, "Plant and microbial xyloglucanses: Function, Structure and Phylogeny" can be accessed by clicking here.
He is currently working as a post doc in Vancouver, Canada in Harry Brumer's group.
