Research interest: The research focus is within the area “enzymes of extremophilic microorganisms”, especially concerning thermostable glycoside hydrolases (including representatives from GH-family 1, 3, 10, 12 and 13).
The studies involve biochemical structure/function-related studies of enzymes with a biotechnological potential. It is ranging from cloning and molecular development to production and characterization.
