Karin Stensjö is an Associate Professor in Microbial Chemistry at Uppsala University, where her research focuses on cyanobacteria, specifically metabolic regulatory dynamics, redox regulation, and adaptation to environmental changes. She aims to identify novel genetic engineering targets in cyanobacteria for biotechnological applications such as biofuels and solar energy production from water. Her interest in cyanobacterial research began during her Master's project at Uppsala University in 1994, which involved studying the localization of nifH transcripts in Anabaena PCC 7120 under the guidance of Prof. Lindblad. Stensjö received her MSc in Biology in 1994 and completed her PhD in Plant Physiology at the Swedish Agricultural University in 2000, where she researched chemical interactions between plants and pests. Following her doctorate, she conducted postdoctoral studies at Copenhagen University, where she used molecular and biochemical techniques to engineer and characterize the biosynthesis of natural products in plants. In December 2012, she became an Associate Professor in Microbial Chemistry at Uppsala University, continuing her exploration into the potential of cyanobacteria for biofuel production through a systems biology approach.
