Christina Divne is a professor at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in the Department of Industrial Biotechnology. Her research primarily focuses on the structural and functional characterization of enzymes involved in carbohydrate metabolism. With extensive involvement in protein X-ray crystallography and cryo-electron microscopy, she aims to decode the molecular details of how enzymes synthesize, degrade, and modify carbohydrates. Divne's team is particularly interested in the molecular mechanisms underlying the biosynthesis of glycoconjugates and polysaccharides, which play vital roles in various biological processes. Her work not only enhances the understanding of these natural biological mechanisms but also seeks to advance the design of transmembrane glycosyltransferases for application in controlled biomaterial production and therapeutics. Throughout her academic career, Divne has published numerous papers discussing the intricate relationship between enzymes and their substrates, contributing significantly to the fields of biochemistry and structural biology. Moreover, she is involved in supervision and education, teaching courses on biomolecular structure and function, and examining doctoral students in related subjects.
