The laboratory has strong expertise in the isolation and characterization of natural products and biosynthesis. We employ chemical biology to solve problems in human health. To achieve this goal, we focused on the discovery of microbial natural products from the Baltic area, which includes a fundamental understanding of their structures, biosynthesis, and biological activities. To further drive the research, we are closely collaborating with other groups at LIOS and the Italian biotech company, NAICONS. We offer a friendly, flexible, and innovative working environment.
To lead a project that involves the discovery of microbial natural products. To build a microbial strains collection by bioprospecting in the Baltic area. To generate and analyze genomic data from the strain collection.
PhD (PhD thesis submitted) in Life Sciences with a focus on microbiology, bioinformatics, molecular biology, or a field relevant to research.
