Eco-biotechnology and drug development
-
We work on a number of topics at the interphase between biology and chemistry.
We are developing eco-sustainable processes based on microorganisms and microbial enzymes and using microbial bioactive metabolites as starting point for further structural optimizations and activity enhancements. We are interested in understanding how evolution shapes the properties of microbial metabolism (proteins, biopolymers and bioactive secondary metabolites) and in the dynamics of complex microbial communities.
The applications of this research range from the environmental applications such as the use of microorganisms for the upcycling of plastic waste into molecules of added value to development of novel methods to fight antibiotic resistant pathogens.
