پژوهشگر
Carsten Jers is a Senior Researcher at the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Biosustainability, Technical University of Denmark (DTU), specializing in bacterial signal transduction and enzyme engineering. His work contributes to multiple UN Sustainable Development Goals through biosustainability research. As part of the DTU Microbes Initiative, he maintains an active research profile with 44 publications and involvement in 9 research projects. Dr. Jers' research focuses on enzyme biochemistry, molecular biology, and microbiology, with particular expertise in sialidase/neuraminidase studies, protein phosphorylation mechanisms, and thermostability of enzymes. His fingerprint analysis reveals strong connections to Escherichia coli research (85%), thermostability studies (55%), protein phosphorylation (49%), and human milk oligosaccharide research (47%). His recent publications demonstrate a strong trend in enzyme engineering for industrial applications, genomic analysis of bacterial pathogens (particularly Enterococcus species), and development of bacterial systems for protein production. His work bridges fundamental molecular mechanisms with practical applications in food safety, biocatalysis, and sustainable bioproduction. Dr. Jers actively supervises multiple PhD students through the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Biosustainability, with current projects focusing on bacterial cell engineering, pathogen proteomics, and microbiome analysis. His research has gained significant attention, with publications mentioned by news outlets, blogged about, and shared across social media platforms including X (Twitter) and Facebook. His laboratory work centers on bacterial signal transduction mechanisms, with particular focus on developing engineered bacterial systems for industrial applications, studying microbial safety profiles, and exploring thermostable enzymes from extremophiles for biocatalytic processes.
