معرفی
Magnus Carlquist is a Professor at the Division of Biotechnology and Applied Microbiology, Lund University, and a member of the LTH Profile Area: Food and Bio. His research focuses on biocatalysis, yeast engineering, and synthetic biology applications for sustainable biochemical production.
- Key Affiliations: Lund University, LTH (Faculty of Engineering), LU Microbial Flow Cytometry Labs.
His work addresses UN Sustainable Development Goals like SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production) and SDG 13 (Climate Action), emphasizing bioprocess optimization and microbial engineering for bioactive compounds. Recent projects include yeast peroxisome engineering (Swedish Research Council) and sustainable alkylamine production (FORMAS).
Notable research trends include CRISPR-Cas9 for reductive amination, heterologous protein expression in yeast, and flow cytometry for dynamic bioprocess control. His team investigates stress tolerance in yeast and compartmentalization strategies for capsaicinoid biosynthesis.
He organizes interdisciplinary conferences on synthetic biology governance and mentors PhD students. Infrastructure managed: LU Microbial Flow Cytometry Labs.
