Reginald Storms

Reginald Storms is a Professor in the Department of Biology at Concordia University. His work focuses on fungal and bacterial systems for industrial enzyme discovery, including protein secretion mechanisms and biotechnological applications.

• Education: PhD in Molecular Biology from the University of Alberta

Research Interests: Storms studies fungal saprophytes to identify enzymes for environmental and industrial use. His team employs gene deletion, transcriptomics, and high-throughput screening to analyze secretome proteins. They develop plasmid vectors for protein production in filamentous fungi.

Scientific Contributions: His publications span fungal enzyme characterization (xylanases, cellulases), yeast functional genomics, and histone biology. Patents relate to cell wall deconstruction enzymes and industrial applications.

• Scientific Awards: Not explicitly mentioned

Teaching: Storms teaches courses in Molecular Biology, Gene Expression, and Genomics.
