About
Dr. Kacper Sendra is a Researcher at Newcastle University, specializing in the evolutionary biology of intracellular parasites and metalloenzyme adaptation. His work bridges disciplines such as Microbiology, Molecular Biology, and Evolutionary Biology.
Research Interests: Sendra investigates the evolution of organelles like mitosomes and hydrogenosomes in microsporidia, metalloenzyme specificity modulation, and gene acquisition in parasitic organisms. His studies often focus on host-pathogen interactions, antioxidant mechanisms, and structural adaptations in microbial systems.
Publication Trends: Recent articles emphasize autophagy subversion by parasites, evolutionary plasticity in surface proteins, and organelle biogenesis. Earlier work explores ciliate taxonomy, transporter gene evolution, and iron-sulfur cluster biosynthesis in microsporidia.
