Overview

Lars K. Nielsen is affiliated with the University of Queensland in Australia. Their research focuses on fields within Biochemistry, Genetics, and Molecular Biology, with particular emphasis on molecular biology and biomedical engineering. They have contributed extensively to topics such as microbial metabolic engineering and bioproduction, viral infectious diseases and gene expression in insects, biofuel production and bioconversion, metabolomics and mass spectrometry studies, gene regulatory network analysis, bioinformatics and genomic networks, and virus-based gene therapy research.

The scientist has been published frequently in venues including bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Biotechnology and Bioengineering, Metabolic Engineering, ACS Synthetic Biology, and arXiv (Cornell University).

Among their recent papers are:

MEMOTE for standardized genome-scale metabolic model testing, 2020, Nature Biotechnology
Enhancing CO2-Valorization Using Clostridium autoethanogenum for Sustainable Fuel and Chemicals Production, 2020, Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology
Redox controls metabolic robustness in the gas-fermenting acetogen Clostridium autoethanogenum, 2020, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
What CHO is made of: Variations in the biomass composition of Chinese hamster ovary cell lines, 2020, Metabolic Engineering
