About the Editors

Vera Meyer studied biotechnology at the Sofia University, Bulgaria, and the Berlin University of Technology (TUB), Germany. After obtaining a PhD degree (2001) and habilitation (2008) at the TUB, she worked as Assistant Professor at Leiden University (2008-2011). She has been visiting scientist at the Imperial College London (2003) and at Leiden University (2005-2006). She became Full Professor of Applied and Molecular Microbiology at the TUB in 2011.

Vera has research interests on fungal biotechnology with an emphasis on systems biology, genetic engineering, and antifungal drug development.

Yvonne Nygård has a PhD in Molecular Biotechnology from Aalto University and currently works as Research Professor at VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland and as Associate Professor at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden. Moreover, she is the CSO of a fungal start-up, Cirkulär AB. Yvonne’s main research interest is to develop microbial cell factories for industrial applications. She combines synthetic biology with high throughput screening and works with different yeast and fungi.
