Protein Benders
OUR mission
Our mission is to couple computational and experimental approaches to design novel peptides and proteins that tackle some of the challenges of the 21st century.
We aim to push the boundaries of science in a collaborative, inclusive, and friendly environment. Our work is motivated by the current needs of our society and is shaped by creativity and observation. We believe science should be inclusive, fun, inspiring, and collaborative, and we strive to make our lab culture such.
Research
We work in a highly collaborative and interdisciplinary team to tackle some of the challenges of the 21st century. Our main interest is to integrate experimental data and computational methods to discover new solutions in protein engineering, including functional peptides and designing novel proteins such as enzymes and biosensors.
