Problem Solver
Eric Martens
Areas Eric Martens is Knowledgeable in:
Using high-throughput techniques like gene expression analysis and genome mining to locate functions involved in complex carbohydrate degradation by bacteria. Genetic manipulation of bacteria to measure functions or design screens for small molecule inhibitors or activators of function.
Eric Martens's Problem Solving Skills:
- Genetic manipulation of bacteria, comparative genomic analysis, analyzing microbial responses to complex carbohydrates,
Eric Martens's Problem Solving Experience:
- I developed a high-throughput screen based on growth of live anaerobic bacteria to identify small molecules that interfere with a broadly conserved carbohydrate degradation pathways.
