Scientific appointment at biosciences leader

GENESIS Biosciences has made a key appointment at its Cardiff-based headquarters to support its research into the varying strains of bacteria used in its environmentallyresponsible products.

Franziska Nagel, originally from Hamburg, Germany, has been appointed as R&D scientist at the company’s UK laboratories and is already making strides in the lab progressing studies into the attributes and potential applications of specific Bacillus strains of bacteria on which

Genesis bases its eco-benign solutions. Nagel is an expert in bacteria research having previously worked at the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology with an M.Sc. in Biology from the University of Tromsø, Norway. She said: “A big part of my role initially has been to compile all the information on the metabolic profiles of our strains and actively maintain the bioinformatics pipeline moving forward. In doing so, we now have a full database of safety and efficacy decade honing her skills in cleaning and FM management. She then relocated permanently to the UK. She said: “It is such a privilege to have the opportunity to be in a role which is able to influence the way the industry is recognised. Cleaning operatives play a pivotal role in the experiences of our everyday lives and I am excited to be back in the thrusts of this robust industry.”

WWW.CLEANOLOGY.COM information on our Bacillus strain library. We understand a lot more about how our strains respond to different environmental factors and food sources, and we can prove that our strains are safe to humans, animals and the environment. I am excited to be working for Genesis. They are building on the great potential bacteria has to solve problems, which would otherwise be solved with harsh chemicals that are not sustainable.”
