David M. Ogrydziak
Professor and Food Microbiologist
Degree
Ph. D. Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1975
Research
Professor Ogrydziak is researching protein secretion and protein processing and response to secretion stress in the yeast Yarrowia lipolytica. He is also working with genetic manipulations of microorganisms as sources of enzymes or other fermentation products useful in food processing. His research is also exploring the heterologous protein production by Yarrowia lipolytica and conducting analysis of genome sequence of Yarrowia lipolytica.
