Dein Profil
Mindset & Approach
Relentlessly curious - you see obstacles as puzzles waiting to be solved
Comfortable challenging established methods and thinking unconventionally
Self-driven explorer who thrives outside the comfort zone
Excited to build things that "shouldn't work"... until they do
Resilient in the face of experimental failure - you see setbacks as data points
Passion & Interests
Genuinely fascinated by protein biochemistry, biophysics, and structural biology
Excited about the potential of large datasets to transform protein design
Eager to bridge the gap between wet-lab experimentation and computational approaches
Interested in therapeutic applications of engineered proteins
Motivated by ambitious, seemingly impossible technical challenges
Background
Educational background in biochemistry, molecular biology, biophysics, biotechnology, or related fields
Experience or strong interest in protein expression, purification, or characterization is valuable
Exposure to structural biology techniques, computational approaches, or lab automation is a plus, but enthusiasm trumps experience
Most importantly: demonstrated ability to learn quickly and adapt to new techniques
We value potential over polish, creativity over credentials, and determination over degrees. If you're excited about revolutionizing protein design through massive data generation, we want to hear from you!
Kind regards,
Christoph
