Paul Hudson

Paul Hudson is a Professor of Microbial bioenergy production at KTH Royal Institute of Technology. His research focuses on biological CO₂ conversion through microbial systems, particularly leveraging cyanobacteria and bacteria to engineer metabolic pathways for enhanced carbon fixation. Key areas include photosynthesis optimization, hydrogen metabolism, and synthetic biology approaches. He utilizes SciLifeLab infrastructure for experimental work, integrating systems biology, computational modeling, and genome editing techniques to achieve metabolic pathway improvements.

Research Interests:

• CO₂ Fixation and Bioenergy Production
• Cyanobacterial Metabolic Engineering
• Systems Biology and Computational Modeling
• CRISPR-Based Genome Editing
• Metabolic Pathway Optimization

Recent work emphasizes developing synthetic enzymes, regulating metabolic fluxes, and exploring novel CO₂ conversion pathways. His studies often involve Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 and Cupriavidus necator as model organisms. While no formal advisees are listed, his research projects likely involve graduate students and postdocs through KTH and SciLifeLab collaborations.

Lab and Collaborations: Active at SciLifeLab, a national resource for life sciences research, where he applies tools traditionally used in medical research to environmental and industrial biotechnology challenges.
