Daniela Quaglia, PhD
Title
Postdoctoral Researcher in Biocatalysis at Université de Montréal
Bio
Daniela Quaglia, Ph.D., is a Postdoctoral Researcher in Biocatalysis at Université de Montréal in the laboratory of Prof. Joelle Pelletier. Her current project (co-funded by NSERC and the industrial partner DSM) focuses on the use of enzyme engineering to generate improved biocatalysts to be used in the food industry.
Dr. Quaglia earned her Bachelor’s degree in Chemistry and her Master’s in Chemistry of Biological Molecules at the University of Florence in Italy. She then pursued her doctorate in Biocatalysis at University College Dublin, Ireland, where her work focused on the study of the enzyme Horse Liver Alcohol Dehydrogenase and its application in the synthesis of anti-inflammatory drugs. She then moved to the UK, where she worked in industry at Synthace, a Synthetic Biology company in London, then in academia, as a Research Associate in Biocatalysis in the laboratory of Prof. Nicholas Turner at the University of Manchester. Dr. Quaglia has also been involved in teaching at undergraduate level both at the Dundalk Institute of Technology (Ireland) and at the Manchester Metropolitan University. Furthermore, she has a passion for scientific communication: in the past she has been awarded in a prestigious NatureJobs writing competition and a UK Biochemical Society outreach award. More recently, she was appointed Community Editor for the PLOSSynbio blog, part of the PLOS group. Her writing is regularly published in widely-read blogs such as the Huffington Post and you can follow her on Twitter (@Dny_Q).
