Maria Cleveland obtained her B.Sc. in Biology in 2014 from Queen’s University in Ontario, Canada. She had worked in the laboratories of Dr. Stan Brown, Dr. Laurent Seroude and Dr. David Zechel studying palladium based metallocycle catalysts, genetics of fruit flies and secondary metabolites of ''Streptomyces curacoi'', respectively. In 2015, she moved to British Columbia where she pursued her PhD in Chemistry under the supervision of Dr. [[User:Harry Brumer|Harry Brumer]] at the University of British Columbia in the Michael Smith Laboratories. The work focused on recombinant production, biochemical characterization and product analysis of fungal Auxiliary Activity enzymes, specifically [[AA5]]_2 <cite>Cleveland2021a Cleveland2021b</cite>. Her work has showcased the wide range of substrate specificities that exist in this subfamily and demonstrated that the catalytic flexibility of the [[AA5]]_2 could be potentially used in a variety of biotech applications.
