Professor Head of Division

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.

SUMMARY: Research focus is on enzymology and molecular development of carbohydrate active enzymes

from different bacterial sources, including extremophiles for sustainable applications related to marine and

terrestrial biomass conversions (industrial and food biotechnology (producing poly/oligosaccharides,

glycosylated polyphenolic substances, surfactants etc). The work also concerns whole cell applications, e.g.

enzyme or metabolite production. Original papers include these topics, and research is supported by European,

Nordic and Swedish granting agencies. Teaching involves MSc‐ and PhD‐students on sustainable biotechnology

methods, enzymology, development and recombinant protein production, including developing

courses/exercises. CURRENT RESEARCH GROUP: 2 POST DOCs (J Linares Pasten, RRR Sardari), 6 PhD‐students (R
