Dr. Ana I. Benítez-Mateos joined the lab as SNSF Ambizione Group Leader.

Dr. Ana I. Benítez-Mateos has joined the lab of Prof. Paolo Arosio as SNSF Ambizione Group Leader. The Ambizione grant was awarded for the research project titled “Bioengineering artificial extremozymes and ‘extremocells’ for robust and sustainable biocatalysis”. Her project aims to develop a universal technology to enhance the stability of both isolated enzymes and bacterial cells with potential applications in industrial biocatalysis, biomedicine, or functional biomaterials. Within her Ambizione project, Sofia L. Hutter has also joined as a PhD student from now until 2027. We are looking forward to hearing the development of this exciting project!
