Profile

Florian’s main fields of activity are the technical evaluation of inventions, the preparation of patent applications, their support in the granting process as well as the communication with patent offices.

As part of his dissertation at the Leibniz Institute for Natural Product Research and Infection Biology (Hans Knöll Institute) in Jena, Florian investigated the expression of various biosynthetic gene clusters of anaerobic bacteria in heterologous host bacteria. This enabled the discovery of previously unknown natural products and the elucidation of their biosynthesis. Furthermore, the process enabled the production of modified natural substances through genetic manipulation and the incorporation of alternative molecular building blocks.
