Research Associate
As a Research Associate, I produced recombinant and isotopically labeled proteins for structural and biochemical analysis. I performed mutagenesis and enzyme engineering to enhance protein properties and developed functional biochemical assays. The role also involved training junior staff in molecular biology techniques. • Produced and purified recombinant and isotopically labeled proteins • Performed site-directed mutagenesis and advanced enzyme engineering • Developed biochemical assays for protein engineering and screening workflows • Trained and mentored junior researchers in laboratory techniques
