Eveline Peeters

Eveline Peeters is a senior researcher in Applied Biological Sciences Microbiology at the Free University of Brussels, focusing on archaeal genetics, synthetic biology, and sustainable material development.

• Projects: IBISBA-FL (Industrial Biotechnology), MycoMatters (mycelium materials), and heavy metal biosensor initiatives
• Research spans Archaea, gene regulation, and biofabrication

Her work emphasizes Sulfolobus acidocaldarius as a model organism for stress response studies. Recent projects explore:

• Liquid-surface fermentation of mycelium for leather alternatives
• Epigenetic regulation in archaea
• Biosensors for heavy metal detection in Peruvian mining regions

Scientific Awards:

• Outstanding Research Award (2023)
• Bestand Prize for 'Materials, Chemistry & Energy' pitch (2022)

She supervises master's students in biofabrication and archaeal genetics, with media recognition for innovative applications in sustainable materials.
