Personal profile
Biography
I am a Research Fellow specializing in environmental and industrial mycology, with a particular focus on marine biodiscovery. My research explores the immense and largely untapped genetic diversity of ocean microorganisms to identify novel therapeutic small molecules and industrially relevant enzymes. I am deeply interested in microbial ecology and how understanding microbial interactions in natural ecosystems can drive sustainable biotechnological innovation.
