User:Maria Cleveland
Maria Cleveland obtained her B.Sc. in Biology in 2014 from Queen’s University in Ontario, Canada. She had worked in the laboratories of Dr. Stan Brown, Dr. Laurent Seroude and Dr. David Zechel studying palladium based metallocycle catalysts, genetics of fruit flies and secondary metabolites of Streptomyces curacoi, respectively. The in 2015, she moved to British Columbia where she completed her PhD in Chemistry under the supervision of Dr. Harry Brumer at the University of British Columbia in the Michael Smith Laboratories. The work focused on recombinant production, biochemical characterization and product analysis of fungal Auxiliary Activity enzymes, specifically AA5_2 [1, 2].
