Engineering surface display in Komagataeibacter to design new ‘smart’ biomaterials (2025 - 2028, CIMANET doctoral school funded by the Research Council of Finland)
This project develops genetic surface-display tools in Komagataeibacter to enable in situ functionalization of bacterial cellulose. By programming cell-surface interactions during material biosynthesis, the work aims to create smart, responsive, and multifunctional biomaterials with applications in engineered living materials.
Developing in silico pipelines to track IS mobilization in Komagataeibacter via population-level sequencing (2024 - 2027, CYSS doctoral school funded by Jenny and Antti Wihuri Foundation)
The project develops in silico analysis pipelines for population-level sequencing to map and understand genome flexibility of Komagataeibacter spp. under agitated conditions. The resulting frameworks enable predictive assessment of genome stability and engineerability in biomaterial-producing bacteria.
