Research summary
AI-generated

This research profile centers on biochemistry, specifically the study of enzymes that use vitamin B6 (PLP) and vitamin B12 (cobalamin) as helper molecules to catalyze reactions involving amino acids like serine, cysteine, and lysine. Much of the work investigates bacterial metabolism (notably in Fusobacterium nucleatum) and includes laboratory-animal husbandry topics such as diet storage and allergy management. Prospective students would likely engage in enzyme kinetics, mutagenesis, and mechanistic biochemistry research.

Publication output has been low but fairly steady over the last decade, with a modest, irregular increase in activity from 2020 onward and an average of about 1.4 papers per year in the last five years.
