About
I am working as the research group leader of the Circular Bioprocesses (cBio) group at the Department of Biotechnology and Food Science, NTNU.
My main research activities are in metabolic engineering, synthetic biology, and bioprocess development using the microbial workhors Corynebacterium glutamicum.
I have a particular interest in the use of alternative and environmentally friendly substrates in microbial fermentations, as well as in the creation of new and innovative value chains from these substrates.
As secondary research lines, I am also interested in novel protein secretion systems for industrial purposes and in the exploitation of genetic elements from extremophilic microorganisms.
Background:
- PhD in Biology. University of Bielefeld, Germany. Topic: "Engineering Corynebacterium glutamicum for a fast production of L-lysine and L-lysine-derived compounds"
- Master's in Microbiology. Autonomous University of Madrid, Spain. Topic: "The study of microbial diversity in biofilms of Rio Tinto, an extreme acid enviroment"
- Bachelor's in Biotechnology. University of Leon, Spain.
