Elisabeth Mira Rothweiler

Post Doctoral Researcher

Mira is currently investigating peptides as molecular Trojan horses to shuttle drugs across the blood brain barrier. As a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Oxford Drug Discovery Institute (ODDI) assay development team, she uses phage-display library screens in combination with biophysical and cell-based models to identify novel peptide shuttles for the delivery of therapeutics for Alzheimer’s Disease. She was awarded a Junior Research Fellowship from Kellogg College in 2024 and is a College Lecturer in Pharmacology and Physiology at Hertford College. Previously, she obtained a DPhil in Clinical Medicine in the field of chemical biology and targeted protein degradation under co-supervision of Prof Paul Brennan and Dr Kilian Huber. Mira graduated from the Ludwig Maximilian University in Munich as a licensed Pharmacist and is interested in drug discovery and the development of novel therapeutics.
