Dr Marc Morris is a biochemist with experience in the structural and functional characterisation of enzymes. Currently, alongside Mikael Bodén and other collaborators at the University of Queensland, he executes high-throughput kinetic assays and structural analyses on enzymes to inform key drivers of activity differentiation within large protein superfamilies with particular reference to the evolution of beta-lactamase activity. Previous experience focussed on the study of novel or cryptic enzymes derived from the metagenomic study of environmental microbial communities, including nylon-degrading enzymes, enzymes involved in cellulose & hemicellulose metabolism, as well as alkane metabolism.
