Karin Ernits is an Associate Researcher at Lund University's Molecular Enzymology department and affiliated with Infect@LU. Her work bridges biochemical and molecular biological approaches to study enzyme mechanisms in phage defense systems and microbial interactions.
- Affiliation: Molecular Enzymology, Lund University
- Affiliated with: Infect@LU
Her research spans enzyme biochemistry, toxin-antitoxin systems, and phage defense mechanisms, with recent focus on SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibodies and structural biology of protein interactions. Key publications include studies on phage restriction, hyperpromiscuous protein networks, and fructan enzyme functions.
Research trends highlight interdisciplinary work in Biochemistry, Immunology, and Microbiology. She leads the project Phage sensing and defence by NAD+-depleting immunity systems, funded by the Crafoord Foundation (2024-2025).
