I completed in 2012 my PhD studies focused on engineering glycoside hydrolases (GHs) into transglycosylases, particularly GH1[1] and GH36[2], under the supervision of professors Michel Dion and Vinh Tran.
After a few years working in a different field (radiochemistry and theoretical chemistry), I came back to the CAZymes world thanks to a postdoctoral position mentored by professor ^^^Birte Svensson^^^ (in Lyngby, close to Copenhagen, Denmark). I continued to work on engineering GHs, to turn them into transglycosylases as well as phosphorylases and efficient glycosynthases. I also got more involved in completing glycoside hydrolases mechanisms, especially GH84 and GH109, and started to work on glycosyltransferases.
