Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
PhD Candidate | Structural Biology | Drug Discovery and Antimicrobial Resistance Driven PhD Candidate and Biochemist specializing in protein engineering and characterization workflows to address complex biomedical challenges. I bring strong experimental rigor, creativity, and technical versatility to the design, development, and execution of next-generation research platforms and therapeutic discovery programs. My expertise bridges the gap between upstream bioprocess scaling and deep molecular characterization. I have a proven track record of expressing and purifying challenging membrane proteins, followed by high-resolution structural and functional mapping to accelerate therapeutic pipelines. Core Capabilities & Technical Toolbox: -Expression & Purification Workflows: Fusion-protein design, Plasmid-based expression systems, High-density bioreactor culturing (Lab-Scale and Pilot-Scale, HPLC/LPLC [SEC, IEX, Affinity, Reverse-Phase]). -Protein Characterization: Cryo-EM, X-Ray Crystallography, Mass Photometry, ITC, MST, DSLS. -Data-Driven Discovery: Python scripting and next-generation software platforms for large-scale data analysis (mass spectrometry, cryo-EM, and genomics). I thrive in highly collaborative, cross-functional research environments where scientific curiosity meets innovation. Let's connect to discuss breakthroughs in molecular immunology, enabling technologies, or research opportunities in the Vancouver/Burnaby biotech space! Reach out via LinkedIn or at [email protected]
