About me
Mati Balka
I'm working in Dan Daley's group, where we design new plasmids for E. coli. We want them to be helpful in detecting cellular stress and in recombinant protein production by increasing the yield of correctly folded proteins.
I'm interested in biotechnology and microbial physiology with an emphasis on biosensors, cellular stress, and recombinant protein production.
I got my BSc in Biology from Warsaw University of Life Sciences (Poland), MSc in Biotechnology from the University of Glasgow (Scotland), and I got a research internship in FGen, Switzerland (currently Ginkgo Bioworks Switzerland). Now I'm working on my PhD at Stockholm University.
I'm a Teaching Assistant in laboratory practicals in Biochemistry I and Biochemistry III courses.
In my research, I focus on bacterial stress response mechanisms, especially linked to the inner membrane and the periplasm. I combine it with the research on recombinant protein production and biosensor construction. For more details, I recommend seeing my publication list.
