معرفی
Christian Jenul is Lecturer in Molecular Microbiology at the University of Leicester's Department of Genetics and Genome Biology. He holds an MSc in Molecular Microbiology from the University of Graz and a PhD from the University of Zurich, where he studied natural product biosynthesis in Burkholderia cenocepacia.
Education:
- PhD, University of Zurich
- MSc Molecular Microbiology, University of Graz
- BSc Molecular Biology, University of Graz
His research examines enzyme-driven modification of natural products during polymicrobial infections, combining mass spectrometry, bacterial genetics, and infection models to understand microbial competition.
Recent work focuses on staphylococcal enzymes that inactivate Pseudomonas siderophores, revealing mechanisms influencing pathogen fitness in co-infections. His publications demonstrate consistent application of chemical biology approaches to bacterial signaling and antimicrobial strategies.
Scientific Awards:
- Postdoc Mobility Fellowship, Swiss National Science Foundation
He leads an independent research group investigating bacterial communication systems and develops genetic tools to study metabolic interactions in infection contexts.
