Research interests

Biomineralization, the formation of complex inorganic structures by organisms, is a widely distributed process in nature. One of the most spectacular examples of biomineralization is the diatom cell wall (frustule), which is a three-dimensional silica structure with intricate, species-specific patterns ranging from nano- to micrometer scale. While a number of proteins have been identified that take part in the deposition and patterning of silica within a specialized compartment (the silica deposition vesicle, SDV), the process as a whole is poorly understood. There is extensive interaction between the inside of the SDV and cytosolic factors such as the cytoskeleton, but the mechanisms of these interactions are unknown. We have established gene editing in the biomineralization model diatom Thalassiosira pseudonana and are currently performing funtional studies of genes involved in biomineralization.

I am starting a new project which aims to combine biotechnology and nanophotonics to obtain tailored biological based photonic crystals. This project is based on the recent finding that diatoms form high-quality photonic crystals in their cell wall, with highly reproducible photonic properties in the visible spectral range. Thus, diatoms have potential to act as a platform for producing highly cost-effective, environmentally friendly and natural photonic crystals for a wide range of applications.
