Karl Persson
Karl Persson is a postdoc researcher at Chalmers Technical University in the Division of Industrial Biotechnology. He completed his PhD at the University of Gothenburg, researching the genetics of adaptation and evolvability in the model yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. After his PhD, Karl expanded his research focus from model yeast to a broader range of yeast species. Less than 5% of all yeast species have been discovered, and only a handful of yeasts have been tested for their potential use as cell factories. For this reason, Karl conducts bioprospecting to find yeasts that can be useful as efficient cell factories and to transition to a sustainable bioeconomy.
