Translating Design into Application

Dr. Maria Tuohy , Dept. of Biochemistry

Dr. Maria Tuohy’s group, the Molecular Glycobiotechnology Group (MGBG), has developed a strong track record in Glycobiotechnology and Enzyme Biotechnology. Ongoing research themes in my group include:

(1) Production, structure-function, molecular genetics and regulation of novel thermostable enzymes/enzyme systems from ’Generally regarded as safe’(GRAS) fungal sources, especially carbohydrate-modifying hydrolases, esterases and oxidases (Enzyme biodiscovery)

(2) Exploitation and optimization the thermophilic fungus Talaromyces emersonii as a ’cell factory’ for biotechnological applications

(3) Structurefunction analysis, enzymatic modification and mechanism of action of bioactive carbohydrates from marine and terrestrial sources (’Glycobioengineering’).
