Speakers

Professor Christine Beemelmanns, Helmholtz Institute of Pharmaceutical Research Saarland, Germany

Christine has been a full Professor in Medicinal-Pharmaceutical Microbiota Research at the Helmholtz Institute of Pharmaceutical Research Saarland since 2022.
 
Her research projects focus on the chemical and functional analysis of co-evolved microbial interactions. Her group combines natural product chemistry with applied microbiology and molecular biology to identify important microbial natural products from these symbiotic communities that are composed of unprecedented chemical core structures and display pharmacological important activities.

Professor Eriko Takano, University of Manchester, United Kingdom

Eriko has been the Professor of Synthetic Biology in the Manchester Institute of Biotechnology, Department of Chemistry, School of Natural Sciences, Faculty of Science and Engineering at the University of Manchester since 2012.
 
She is internationally recognised as a pioneer in the synthetic biology of microbes for antibiotic production and her research interests are in bioinformatics software development for designing natural products producers; untargeted metabolomics for chassis engineering in Streptomyces; secondary metabolite biosynthesis pathway assembly; and regulatory circuit engineering through signalling molecules and non-coding RNAs.
