Oatly is the leading producer of oat-based dairy alternatives. In my role, I drive innovation in the field of enzyme science and technology, explore new enzyme applications in the production process and improve existing solutions.

Global

Consultant for biotechnology, food technology and fermentation-related topics in the alternative protein sector.

Gothenburg, Sweden

Mycorena is a fast-growing Swedish start-up that develops and produces vegan protein products made from filamentous fungi. As CTO during the most crucial years, I was responsible for the strategic and operational vision of the company, as well as all scientific and technical aspects. I developed the fermentation process for production of the fungi, as well.

Gothenburg, Sweden

In the early phases of the company, I co-developed and built up the fungal fermentation technology behind the idea, which required not only solid scientific knowledge, an entrepreneurial mindset, imagination and practical lab skills, but also great adaptability. It started with a concept and an empty room, and resulted in a fully equipped microbiology and.

I received a personal grant to study the production of the bioplastics PHA (polyhydroxyalkanoates) in soil bacteria. This involved bioprospecting, cultivation, screening, fermentation and analysis of the best PHA-producers. Another part of this project was the analysis of different waste biomass (agricultural and forest) for their suitability to act as.

Gothenburg, Sweden

As a researcher in the Wallenberg Wood Science Center (WWSC), my projects were about finding new fungal biomass degrading enzymes. This involved growth studies, enzyme production in different host organisms, thorough enzyme characterization and the application of analytical methods like MALDI-TOF, ion chromatography, HPLC and spectroscopic methods. My main.

I was involved in the EU project OPTIBIOCAT, where we discovered and optimised new feruloyl and glucuronoyl esterases to use as synthetic biocatalysts in the production of value-added products. My role was bioinformatic analysis of sequenced fungal genomes and transcriptomes, the selection, cloning and expression of target enzymes, as well as their.

Vienna

Optimisation of protein expression in plants, protein purification and development of analytical assays.

Vienna, Austria

My PhD project was about the investigation of the ER-associated degradation pathway of misfolded glycoproteins in the model organisms Arabidopsis thaliana and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. I discovered and characterized several enzymes and lectins that are involved in the recognition and processing of misfolded proteins inside the cell. I expressed.
