Background
Driving by passion and curiosity, I am learning to be an excellent enzyme biochemist and molecular biologist. I have expertise in study and analysis of novel enzymes, and enzyme-based materials that derived from plant and microbes. I desire to make sustainable products that could make our society better, make people healthier, and make the planet cleaner.
Current Research
In CAZyme Stockholm group, I am focusing on developing a Sustainable Hydrogel. The hydrogel formation is free from fossil-based polymers and chemical synthesis steps. The hydrogel forms with simple mixture of polysaccharides and protein. I am also interest to cross-link different bio-functional enzymes to our sustainable hydrogels with medical/industrial/food/cosmetic applications.
