Lena Wohlschlager

Lena Wohlschlager is a Researcher at the Institute of Molecular Modeling and Simulation, part of the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna (BOKU). Her work focuses on biocatalysis and lignocellulose degradation through advanced molecular techniques.

• Molecular modeling and simulation
• Enzyme interaction studies
• Biomass conversion research

Wohlschlager's research explores enzyme localization and activity on complex biopolymers using surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy and fluorescence microscopy, with significant contributions to understanding fungal enzyme systems in lignocellulose breakdown. Her publications since 2018 span topics like heterologous enzyme expression and oxidoreductase mechanisms in biomass hydrolysis.

While specific scientific awards aren't mentioned, her work has been presented at international conferences including NextGenBiocat Symposium and Gordon Research Conference. She collaborates with researchers across Europe on biocatalysis projects and has contributed to PhD candidate symposia.
