Anna Kattel Ph.D
Anna is a third-year industrial PhD student at Tallinn University of Technology (TalTech). She is doing her research at the Center of Food and Fermentation Technologies (TFTAK).
The focus of her research is on next-generation probiotics and consortia manufacturing. She develops innovative ways how to manufacture stable consortia. That involves finding out how to control species ratios – support slower-growing species while avoiding the dominance of others. All that demands excellent knowledge of all the species. For that chemically defined media, isothermal microcalorimetry or bioreactors, metabolomics and consortia metabolic modelling is used. Anna has over five years of experience in the lab. Her previous studies involve acetoin microbial production and laboratory evolution.
