Biography
Dr. Dania Awad (born in 1988) is a postdoc and team
leader at the Werner Siemens Chair of Synthetic Biotechnology (WSSB) at the
Faculty of Chemistry of the Technische Universität Munich (TUM). Dr. Awad
received her doctorate degree in 2020 with Summa
cum laude. Named as a Franz Effenberger fellow in 2021 by Clariant and the
German Chemical Society (GDCh), her research activities are concerned with the
application of multiomics techniques and analyses (genomics, transcriptomics,
proteomics and metabolomics) to elucidate biocatalytic and metabolic processes
that influence the conversion of various carbon and energy sources by
microorganisms (yeast, bacteria and algae) into high-value products (e.g.,
biofuels, oleochemicals, bioplastics). Under the direction of Prof. Dr. Thomas
Brück, Dr. Awad complements the WSSB's goals of producing sustainable products
for the chemical, construction and pharmaceutical industries.
