Annemette moved from Denmark to Scotland to obtain an MChem in Medicinal and Biological Chemistry at the University of Edinburgh. After this she spent a few years in industrial biotech with Ingenza Ltd. as part of a multidisciplinary team working towards developing biosynthetic routes. In 2016 she started an IBioIC-sponsored PhD with Professor John Christie at the University of Glasgow. Her PhD focused on developing and characterising the fluorescent protein iLOV and its derivatives, and the applications of this as a biosensor reporter and protein marker in an industrial setting. Annemette joined the Wallace group in 2021 to work on microbial pathway engineering and whole-cell biotransformations towards the sustainable production of small molecules. She also is the lab-manager of the Wallace lab.
