Dr Joshua Loh
Research Associate
I am interested in sustainable biotechnology. For my undergraduate degree, I studied BSc Biochemistry in the University of Wolverhampton and worked on antimicrobial bacterial cellulose as a dissertation project with Prof Radecka. For my PhD, I explored the pathway for alkane biosynthesis in the fungus Ascocoryne sarcoides and was supervised by Dr Howard at Newcastle University.
I am currently a PDRA at Northumbria University. My research focuses on functionalising bacterial cellulose for the built environment. This includes material characterisation and engineering patterns, shapes and material specification in bacterial cellulose.
