Liubov Yakovlieva was born in Kyiv, Ukraine on the 10th of March 1994. She obtained her Bachelor degree in Chemistry from the National University of “Kyiv-Mohyla Academy” in 2014. In the same year she received an EU scholarship for a two-year Master studies at the University of Groningen, the Netherlands. During her Master studies she performed a research project in the group of Prof. D. B. Janssen titled “Computational design of enantioselective variants of haloalkane dehalogenase LinB”. Subsequently, she joined the group of Prof. M. T. C. Walvoort where she carried out an internship on the studies of bacterial protein N-glycosyltransferases.
Liubov graduated with her Master degree in 2016 and began her PhD work in the Walvoort group in January 2017. Her primary research focus was on studying the mechanism of bacterial protein N-glycosyltransferases EarP and HMW1C. Alongside her main projects, she used the N-glycosylation systems to generate various glycopeptides and glycoproteins for several other collaborative projects.
During her PhD studies Liubov presented her research in a variety of poster and oral presentations. Poster presentations were delivered at the Gratama workshop (2018), the annual Dutch chemistry conference CHAINS (2019), the 20th European Carbohydrate Symposium (2019) and the Society for Glycobiology meeting (2020). Three research projects were presented during conference talks at CHAINS (2018 and 2020) and the 20th European Carbohydrate Symposium (2019). Additionally, popular talks were delivered during the outreach events of Famelab (2020, regional and national competition) and the Three-Minute Thesis competition (2020, regional event).
As of September 2021, the author of this thesis is employed as a postdoctoral associate in the group of Prof. Katharina Ribbeck, in the Department of Biological Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Cambridge, USA).
