Prof. Dr. Cheryl Kerfeld (USA) works at Michigan State University and Berkeley National Labs. Her research focuses on structural biology of microbial systems, especially protein-based organelles. She is best known for work on bacterial microcompartments, such as carboxysomes, which are protein shells that encapsulate key metabolic enzymes and optimize processes like carbon fixation. Her research combines structural biology, biochemistry, and synthetic biology to understand how these nanocompartments assemble and how they can be engineered for biotechnology and carbon management applications.
