Luca Ferrarotto

Luca is a first-year PhD student in Barrie Wilkinson’s lab.

The main focus of his project is to develop a novel platform for protein production in Streptomyces, specifically for proteins that cannot be expressed in well-established systems such as E. coli or yeast. Alongside the development of this new platform, his research also involves the biochemical and biophysical characterization of various enzymes that have not yet been expressed and will be produced using this system to assess its efficiency.
