In addition, we have master´s thesis students and research trainees working in our group.
University lecturer in Microbiology at the University of Helsinki, Faculty of Agriculture and Forestry, Docent, group leader, principal investigator in the Viikki Research Groups Organisation in Biosciences. Research activities include wood-decaying fungi, their enzymology, eco-physiology, genomics and transcriptomics.
Doctor of Science (Agriculture and Forestry) in biotechnology. Research interests and expertise include molecular biology and bioinformatics related to genomics and transcriptomics in fungi, bacteria and plants.
Master of Science, doctoral student of MBDP (Doctoral programme in microbiology and biotechnology). Studying fungal production and utilization of bioactive natural compounds during wood decomposition and coping with environmental stress factors.
MSc, Doctoral researcher in MBDP (Doctoral Programme in Microbiology and Biotechnology). Interested in sustainable biotechnology, science communication and biotech entrepreneurship. Research interests involves bio-upcycling, biomass valorisation, and biobased production of commodity chemicals by microbial cell bio-factories. Studying the expression of fungal-produced secondary metabolites in microbial co-cultures, meta-transcriptomes of multispecies interactions, gene regulation and gene regulatory networks operating in the interactive fungi.
