My research is on the metabolism of bacteria that fix carbon dioxide. Energy sources for these bacteria can be sunlight, hydrogen, other gases, or metals. The main focus is on photosynthetic cyanobacteria and hydrogen oxidizing bacteria that use the Calvin Cycle.  An ultimate goal is to engineer the metabolism so that these bacteria fix CO2 and can convert it into chemicals and fuels at high rates. To do this, we use metabolic engineering, synthetic biology, and systems biology. Recently we have begun to apply protein design tools for this purpose, for application to enzymes as well as new projects on food proteins. For a publication list, see my Google Scholar Profile (nom de plume Elton P. Hudson). My group is fully located at Science for Life Laboratory in Solna.

I am also engaged in teaching. I am course responsible for Gene Technology (Year 1), a graduate level seminar series on Metabolic Engineering, and I give guest lectures in courses on Metabolic Engineering, Microbiology, and Application of Proteomics for Industrial Biotechnology.

Additional duties:
Head of Division of Systems Biology, Member of Steering group for SciLifeLab Masters in Techniques in Molecular Life Sciences, Member of Strategic Council of CBH School.
