Roall Espersen Email & Phone Number

I am a committed and passionate person, specialized within the field of protein chemistry and microbial conversion of keratin by-product. Generally I have a broad understanding of many aspect within biochemistry/biotechnology. My previous work experiences have led me to work both with basic research, while also as of late with more applied research. This has required more a pragmatic and goal-oriented view on my research. Working on a project with several stakeholders including industrial partners has strengthened my ability to analyse the requests of stakeholders for me to plan and conduct experiments that correctly answer their questions. These aspects of my education have lent me to be both able to think out of the box and explore new solutions, while staying focused and keeping track of the end target. I am very detail oriented and thrive when standards are set high with regards to quality and efficiency.During my studies a have utilized a range of technical methods and equipment for the study of proteins:Enzyme Characterization:- Assay development- Activity measurements - Substrate specificity analysis - Activity optimization- Stability (kinetic)Protein Characterization:- Protein stability (chemical, thermal)- Structural characterization (CD, DLS)- Binding affinity (ITC)Protein and Peptides Purificatio:n- HPLC and UHPLC- Affinity, SEC, IEC, IMAC and RPMass Spectrometry:- Proteomics (LC-MS/MS)- Protein identification (MS)- Product analysisAnalytical Methods:- Absorbance, fluorescence, CD, DLS- LC-MS/MS- ITC, DSC - Electropheresis
