Natural and Synthetic Microbial Biochemistry

Lennart Schada von Borzyskowski - Assistant Professor (Leiden University)

Research in the lab of Lennart Schada von Borzyskowski focuses on understanding and engineering the versatile metabolism of bacteria. Lab members strive to gain fundamental knowledge by investigating the physiology of environmental microbes and apply these discoveries to develop sustainable solutions for the benefit of society. Techniques from diverse fields such as biochemistry, structural biology, metabolic engineering, and microbial ecology are combined to characterize previously unknown enzymes and metabolic pathways, and subsequently implement them in diverse host organisms to generate novel biological functions that help to tackle global environmental challenges.
