Mirko Maksimainen obtained a M.Sc. in Organic Chemistry from the University of Joensuu in 2008 and Ph.D. from the University of Eastern Finland in 2012 under the supervision of ^^^Juha Rouvinen^^^. Currently, he is a post-doc in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Eastern Finland. He has determinated the crystal structures of Trichoderma reesei (GH35) [1] and Bacillus circulans sp. alkalophilus (GH42) [2] β-galactosidases.
