Roland Ludwig graduated from BOKU - University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna with a masters degree in biotechnology and completed his doctoral studies under the supervision of Dietmar Haltrich in 2004. He worked as a senior & key researcher for the Austrian Centre of Industrial Biotechnology until 2009, when starting a postdoctoral internship at Lund University with bioelectrochemist Lo Gorton. Since 2011, he is permanently associated with BOKU and works on cofactor-dependent oxidoreductases such as laccases AA7and GMC-oxidoreductases .
The work focused on structural studies of glycoside hydrolases from families , GH11 and GH12. In 1999 she obtained a personal EMBO fellowship to join the group of ^^^Bernard Henrissat^^^ at the CNRS laboratory Architecture et Fonction des Macromolecules Biologiques. She is currently permanent research engineer in the group of Yves Bourne at the AFMB laboratory. She has determined the crystal structures of
