I am a biochemist with strong research interests in enzymology and structural biology. My research is focussing on biocatalysis with emphasis on enzymes involved in cyclic peptide biosynthesis. I am employing bio-macromolecular X-ray crystallography, enzyme kinetics and biophysical methods to expand the fundamental understanding of how these enzymes work in order to harness their biocatalytic potential to generate a wide variety of bioactive cyclic peptides via biotransformations.
