S&T Expertise*

Estudio enzimas y vías metabólicas bacterianas para transformar biomasa lignocelulósica (residuos agrícolas) en productos de valor agregado. Algunas de las técnicas que manejo a diario incluyen producción de proteínas recombinantes en sistemas heterólogos (bacteria y levaduras) y purificación de proteínas (afinidad, FPLC, SEC), enzimología (cinética), HPLC, GC-MS, UV-vis espectrofotometría, PCR, clonado de genes, microbiología bacteriana y bioinformática. *Information provided by the agent in SIGEVA
