Emil G. P. Stender obtained his M.Sc. in biochemistry from University of Copenhagen - Denmark in 2014 and completed his PhD in 2018 at Technical University of Denmark (DTU) under supervision of ^^^Birte Svensson^^^ and co-supervised by Maher Abou Hachem. The project involved characterization of whey protein-alginate interactions and identification of alginate binding sites on the surface of β-lactoglobulin [1, 2]. He has since been employed as a postdoc at DTU – Bioengineering in a project identifying and characterizing enzymes enabling human gut microbiota to utilize alginate. His main research interests are protein biophysics, Polysaccharide Lyases and alginate modifying enzymes. He published the first structure of an mannuronic acid specific alginate lyase in Polysaccharide Lyase Family 6 from the human gut microbe Bacteroides cellulosilyticus [3].
