Team Members

Peter-Leon Hagedoorn is an expert in the mechanistic investigation of metalloenzymes such as ferritin and chlorite dismutase, and he pioneered a new approach for metalloproteomics, called MIRAGE.

Interested in more sustainable ways of driving biocatalysis, replacing carbon-based reductants with hydrogen gas.

Biotechnology for cleaner, safer and more sustainable chemical manufacture.

Cultivating extreme microorganism to catalyse reactions to make the chemical industry more sustainable.

Improving the expressibility of the Pyrococcus furiosus Wco biosynthetic pathway in E. coli

We probe our understanding of protein design principles by designing new proteins and testing their activities in the lab.

We pioneered the use of bioinformatics to study metalloproteins.

EvoEnzyme designs customized biocatalysts through directed evolution.

Expressing tungsten enzymes in E. coli for large-scale production, tackling biosynthesis bottlenecks.

Our research interest focus around the application of oxidoreductases for organic synthesis.

The current main research interests of the Paul group are towards exploring the synthetic potential of Nature's catalysts.
