Invited Expert for the evaluation of Bio-Based Industries Joint Undertaking (BBI JU) project proposals

This position involved fundamental characterization and understanding of the interactions between glycolipid biosurfactants and proteins (and enzymes). The aim was to show how sustainable and eco-friendly biosurfactants can substitute petrochemical derived synthetic surfactants. The position was funded by a three-year individual post.doc. stipend granted by The Danish Council for Independent Research | Technology and Production SciencesIn addition to management of my own research… Show more This position involved fundamental characterization and understanding of the interactions between glycolipid biosurfactants and proteins (and enzymes).

The position was funded by a three-year individual post.doc. stipend granted by The Danish Council for Independent Research | Technology and Production SciencesIn addition to management of my own research project concerning proteins and biosurfactants daily tasks include:• Student supervision (undergraduate-, graduate- and PhD students)• Lecturer on the course “Protein biophysics” (Master)• Project development and management• Identify new collaboration partners and expand relationships• Fundraising Short about surfactants:Surface active agents (surfactants) are used in products such as detergents, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. The annual production of surfactants is over 12 million tons (17 million tons in 2017) with an estimated value of USD 27 billion (USD 36.5 billion in 2017). Surfactants are mainly produced from non-renewable petrochemical resources and have a negative impact on the environment. A new alternative to synthetic surfactants are biosurfactants. Glycolipid biosurfactants such as rhamnolipids and sophorolipids can be produced on an industrial scale by microorganisms. They can be produced from renewable resources (e.g. waste) and are eco-friendly. In addition to their surface active properties anti-microbial/viral/fungal/cancer effects have been observed. http://inano.au.dk/biosurfactants Show less

This 6 months research stay at inbio.be focused on production and purification of tailor-made glycolipid biosurfactants. • Glycolipid biosurfactants were produced by fermentation of wild type and genetically modified yeasts Starmerella bombicola and Rhodotorula bogoriensis.• Fine purification was carried out using chromatography and filtration techniques.

This short-term position was a follow-up on my master thesis with the title "The Stability and Folding Mechanism of Outer Membrane Proteins". Results generated during my master thesis and as a research assistant laid the basis for further studies on the interaction between surfactants and outer membrane proteins. Several peer-reviewed articles have since been published concerning the folding mechanism and oligomerization of outer membrane proteins in surfactants.
