Master Thesis Student — Frauke Gräter Group
Designing lysine crosslinking proteins with state-of-the-art protein design models and fine-tuning them for function; contributing new model modalities for functional protein design.
Intern — Michael Boutros Group
Lab rotation using BindCraft to design in silico small protein binders targeting Wnt-pathway proteins relevant to cancer proliferation.
Intern — Kai Johnsson Group
Lab rotation establishing a computational protein design workflow. Used RFdiffusion, ProteinMPNN, and AlphaFold3 to redesign SNAP-tag2 for improved stability and function.
