Tilmann Weber is Professor for Natural Products Genome Mining at the Department for Biotechnology and Biomedicine at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU Bioengineering). His main research interest is focused on deciphering the molecular pathways and engineering the biosynthesis of natural products by combining genetic, biochemical and bioinformatics methods. He is a pioneer in developing software for the automated genome mining (CLUSEAN, antiSMASH, antiSMASH-DB), large-scale sequencing of actinomycetes, and analysis of secondary metabolite biosynthetic pathways. His group was involved in the identification and characterisation of numerous natural products and their BGCs and is deeply involved in developing CRISPR-based metabolic engineering tools for actinomycetes.
