Taner Duysak
Taner Duysak is a structural biologist with a Ph.D. in Molecular Medicine from Chonnam National University, Korea. His research focuses on enzyme engineering and biocatalysis for carbon conversion, with an emphasis on transforming toxic carbon compounds into valuable chemical building blocks. He has published extensively in high‑impact journals, including Oncogene, Molecular Therapy Oncolytics, and the International Journal of Biological Macromolecules. His recent article, From toxin to chiral building block: Engineered aldolase‑catalyzed regioselective conversion of formaldehyde into L‑glyceraldehyde, demonstrates a novel enzymatic pathway for carbon detoxification and valorization. Dr. Duysak has also contributed to pioneering microbial therapeutic strategies, with multiple publications showcasing engineered Salmonella strains for cancer therapy. Currently, his work integrates structural biology, synthetic biology, and AI‑driven protein design to advance sustainable carbon conversion platforms. His vision is to develop innovative biocatalytic systems that bridge fundamental enzymology with practical applications in green chemistry.
