About

Maja Remškar studied Biochemistry at the Faculty for Chemistry and Chemical Technology at University of Ljubljana, Slovenia. She obtained her Master's Degree in October 2015, started an internship at HIPS in November 2015 and became a PhD candidate in June 2016. Part of her work focuses on the discovery of natural products from novel Myxobacteria through a genome mining approach, which involves molecular biology and genetic manipulation of bacteria, in order to correlate them with biosynthetic gene clusters and understand their biosynthesis. Maja learned working with Streptomyces in AciesBio d.o.o, Ljubljana and is applying that knowledge on Actinobacteria which includes cultivation, fermentation, genetic manipulation (gene knock-out, site-directed mutagenesis) and also extraction, antibiotic isolation and purification.
