Professor Peter Golyshin is a faculty member at Bangor University's School of Environmental and Natural Sciences, specializing in environmental genomics and microbial biotechnology. He holds a PhD from Lomonosov Moscow State University (1991) and an MSc with Distinction (1987).
His research focuses on microbial genomics, particularly extremophiles, and their roles in bioremediation (e.g., oil degradation, plastic biodegradation) and enzyme discovery. He leads the Centre for Environmental Biotechnology (CEB), directing projects like the £9.6M UKRI Engineering Biology Mission Hub and the £1.39M P3EB Mission Hub. His work spans marine microbiology, metagenomics, and applications of extremophilic enzymes in industry.
Key achievements include pioneering activity-based metagenomics and characterizing cold-adapted microbial systems. Current projects emphasize engineering biology for environmental solutions and plastic pollution mitigation. Collaborations include international initiatives like the EU-funded FuturEnzyme and INMARE.
