Gernot Beihammer

Gernot Beihammer is a researcher at the Institute of Plant Biotechnology and Cell Biology within the Department of Biotechnology and Food Science at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna (BOKU). His work focuses on glycobiology, specifically investigating N-glycan modifications in plant systems and their implications for protein structure and function.

Research interests include:

• Elucidating mechanisms of N-glycan processing in plants
• Engineering glycoproteins for improved biopharmaceutical applications
• Studying evolutionary conservation of Lewis A glycans in Arabidopsis
• Developing tools for glycobiology research

Key publication trends reveal specialized work in plant glycobiology, including N-glycan occupancy in biopharming systems (Leishmania enzymes in Nicotiana), stress-induced glycan modifications in Arabidopsis, and fundamental GPI-anchor biosynthesis in plants.
