Alicia Lammerts van Bueren obtained her BSc in Biochemistry in 2003 from the University of Victoria (Victoria, Canada) and in 2008 completed her PhD in Biochemistry at UVic under the supervision of Dr. Alisdair Boraston. Her PhD investigated mechanisms of glycoside hydrolase virulence factors (specifically GH13) of Streptococcus pneumoniae [1] [2], as well as the binding mechanisms of several carbohydrate-binding module families and their interactions with plant and bacterial cell wall polysaccharides (eg: see [3]). She then undertook an EMBO and NSERC funded postdoctoral fellowship at the University of York (York, UK) in the lab of Prof. Gideon Davies to study the enzymatic mechanism of GH29 retaining fucosidases [4, 5], as well as medically important glycosyltransferases. After a brief exit from the carbohydrate field to learn the technique of Cryo-Electron Microscopy at the Netherlands Cancer Institute (Amsterdam, NL), she is now a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Groningen (Groningen, NL) with Prof. Lubbert Dijkhuizen. Her primary research focuses on the importance of carbohydrate modifications in regulating human microbiome populations and investigating the properties of novel carbohydrate-based prebiotic compounds.
