I am a post doc at The Department of Biotechnology and Biomedicine, Technical University of Denmark. I obtained my PhD degree in 2019 under the supervision of Maher Abou Hachem at the Technical University of Denmark. My PhD studies focused on the enzymatic degradation of xylan and mannan by the human gut symbiont Roseburia intestinalis [1] [2].
- I have contributed to the structure determination and biochemical characterization of the xylan binding CBM86 [3].
