The research of Eveline Peeters can be situated in the domain of molecular microbiology, with a focus on (transcriptional) gene regulation and transcription factors. Recently, fundamental research is being combined with application-driven research in the domain of synthetic biology, thereby exploring the use and engineering of microorganisms as cell factories for bioproduction of chemicals and materials. Besides performing research on archaea, with Sulfolobus spp. and Haloferax spp. as models, new research lines have been established focusing on bacteria and fungi.
