Qin FAN

Qin FAN is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Chair of Bioprocess Engineering, Technical University of Berlin, working since October 2022 on the UniSysCat project in collaboration with KIWI-biolab. Their research focuses on developing bioprocesses for [NiFe]-hydrogenase production and incorporation of non-canonical amino acids.

Dr. Fan's educational background includes:

• PhD in Bioprocess Engineering, Technical University of Berlin (2022), supervised by Prof. Neubauer. Thesis: 'Development of a bioprocess for heterologous hydrogenase production in Escherichia coli'

Research spans Bioprocess Engineering, Enzyme Engineering, and Synthetic Biology with emphasis on sustainable biohydrogen production. Their work integrates metabolic engineering to optimize hydrogenase functionality through non-canonical amino acid incorporation, advancing biocatalyst development for energy applications.

Dr. Fan supervises undergraduate and master's practical courses and theses while conducting independent research under the UniSysCat project 'Coupling biocatalysts covalently with chemical catalysts'.

They operate within the Chair of Bioprocess Engineering research team and maintain active collaboration with KIWI-biolab, contributing to Berlin's bioengineering research ecosystem through UniSysCat's Cluster of Excellence framework.
