Qualifications
Research and funding
- Understanding detection and colonization of lignocellulose by anaerobe fungi to improve agricultural waste valorisation
I will be working at both SRUC and the Fry lab to generate an understanding of carbohydrate recognition and uptake that drive the initial colonisation of plant biomass by anaerobic fungi of the rumen. This knowledge will be exploited to create combinations of fungi and lignocellulose with increased potential in selective lignocellulose pre-treatments for bioprocessing.
Research funding: EASTBio DTP
