Nathalie Eiris Henriksen

Nathalie Eiris Henriksen is a Postdoc at the Department of Biotechnology and Biomedicine, Technical University of Denmark. Her work focuses on microbial and chemical ecology, particularly in marine environments.

• Primary Affiliation: Department of Biotechnology and Biomedicine, DTU

Research Interests: Her research investigates secondary metabolite production in marine bacteria, biofilm dynamics, microbial interactions (e.g., Pseudoalteromonas and Phaeobacter), and the role of gene expression in antibiotic synthesis. She develops model systems like transparent soil to study bacterial ecophysiology.

Recent Publications: Henriksen's work spans secondary metabolite biosynthesis in Streptomyces, microbial community succession in marine biofilms, and interactions between antibiotic-producing bacteria. Key subfields include gene clusters, coculture systems, and chemical signaling.

Projects: She recently completed a PhD project on the influence of microbial secondary metabolites on diversity and functionality in marine systems (2019-2023), supervised by Professor Lone Gram.
