About Z. Tüzün Güvener
I am a PhD molecular microbiologist focused on strain engineering, microbial physiology and microbial ecology with success in developing and managing collaborative projects, delivering results with vigor and attention to detail over 15 years. I am passionate about early discovery research for development of novel therapeutics and industrially important high-value chemicals and ingredients. I have successfully applied my skills in strain engineering, molecular and microbiological methods to gain mechanistic understanding in cellular processes; small molecule metabolism, signaling pathways, genetics of cell surface molecules, secretion system and microbial interactions in natural communities with a track record of publications in academic research and R&D research in biotech. After pivoting in academic research into biotech I am leading projects to solve important problems by leveraging my expertise in cell engineering and molecular biology. My goal is to bring solutions to growing companies with a hardworking, persistent and creative mindset.
