Protein engineering for Structural Biology

As part of the PX SRF my work mainly involves the development of tools that enable structural biology.

For example developing new plasmids to enable the facile generation of multiple protein constructs. I have also developed workflows to enable the rapid purification of 24-48 constructs in parallel at scales suitable for structural biology. Other work is the utilization of various protein engineering strategies to make targets more tractable for crystallization. Future work will include the rapid generation of binders for structural biology applications.
