Tim Tse, PhD

Research Assistant
University of Saskatchewan
Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada

Tim has previously obtained his B.Sc. in Biochemistry from the University of Saskatchewan in 2011. He further enrolled in the Ph.D. programme at the Toxicology Centre, the University of Saskatchewan, where he employed analytical mass spectrometry techniques and next-generation sequencing to reconstruct trends in the phototrophic community in Prairie lakes. Recently, he employed whole-genome shotgun sequencing to identify an endemic microbial community responsible for the conversion of glycerol into high-value compounds (e.g. 1,3-propanediol) in wheat-based thin stillage. As a postdoctoral fellow, he is working on enhancing the utilization of canola and barley crops in the production of ethanol and relevant, valuable co-products (e.g. alpha-glycerylphosphorylcholine). Currently, he is also researching methods to upgrade and purify industrial ethanol to pharmaceutical/food-grade ethanol, as well as investigating ways to increase ethanol and alpha-glycerylphosphorylcholine content during alcoholic fermentation.
