Elena Carrasquer-Alvarez is a Visiting Researcher at the University of Copenhagen, focusing on Marine Biology. Her research centers on genetic engineering to modify microorganisms for the production of useful microbes for society. During her PhD project, she has primarily worked with cyanobacteria, striving to understand the natural mechanisms they use to capture CO2. This research is crucial as a significant portion of anthropogenic CO2 emissions comes from industrial exhaust gases released into the oceans and atmosphere. Her objective is to modify cyanobacteria to optimize their natural CO2 capturing mechanisms and thereby reduce industrial waste streams. To achieve this, she employs techniques such as random targeted mutagenesis, RNA extractions, and transcriptomic analysis. Her project is a collaboration with the Faculty of Health at the University of Copenhagen, embodying a commitment to addressing environmental challenges. She welcomes contact from those interested in her research.
