Andrea Seveso

Andrea Seveso is a researcher at Chalmers University of Technology, Department of Industrial and Materials Science, specializing in carbohydrate-active enzymes and lignin-carbohydrate complex degradation. Their work focuses on enzyme discovery and structural-functional analysis, particularly in microbial systems for biomass conversion.

Research highlights include:

• 2024: Discovery of CE15 enzymes in Bacteroidota involved in pectin-lignin bond cleavage
• 2023: Functional analysis of AA5 alcohol oxidase with CE3 domain fusion
• 2022: Structural studies on lignin-carbohydrate complex-targeting enzymes

Publications cover carbohydrate chemistry, enzyme engineering, and microbial metabolism, with collaborations at Novo Nordisk Foundation and Interreg-funded projects. Research involves 2019-2024 projects on enzymatic plant biomass breakdown mechanisms.
