Research activities of the LIST Microbial Biotechnology team: from omics to bioprocesses

Dr. Magdalena Calusinska will give a seminar entitled "Research activities of the LIST Microbial Biotechnology team: from omics to bioprocesses".

This seminar is organised by the ELI-M (Applied microbiology) division of the Earth and Life Institute.

Dr. Magdalena Calusinska is working at Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST). She is part of the Microbiome Engineering research group. 

Abstract

Dr. Magdalena Calusinska will present her research on the microbial processes driving the decomposition of lignocellulosic biomass. Her work focuses on exploring natural environments rich in plant materials to identify bacteria and other microorganisms capable of breaking down complex plant polymers. By studying these microbial strategies, she aims to uncover novel biological processes that can be harnessed for the development of eco-friendly industrial biotechnologies. These insights contribute not only to advancing biofuel production but also to enabling the sustainable generation of a wide range of value-added biochemicals.
