I am a protein biochemist with a background in protein crystallography and structural biology. My current research interest is focused on adapting enzymes from extremophiles for biomanufacturing use. Carbonic anhydrase from the psychrohalophile Photobacterium profundum, 2-Oxoglutarate carboxylase from the thermophile Hydrogenobacter thermophilus and Acetoacetyl-Coenzyme A: Acetate Conenzyme A Transferase from Thermosipho melanesiensis are three enzymes in this research area I have worked and published on recently.
