Luciana Fernandes de Brito - NTNU

About

I earned my PhD at the University of Bielefeld, Germany, and am now a researcher at the Department of Biotechnology and Food Science in NTNU. Here, I am involved in development of tools and engineering of methylotrophic bacteria towards methanol-based production of bulk and specialty chemicals.
