Job Details
The Molecular Engineering Lab (Prof. Michael A. Nash) is jointly affiliated with the University of Basel and ETH Zurich. The research focus of the group is on engineering artificial protein systems for biomedical therapeutic applications. We are interested in protein structure and function, and its relation to protein mechanical properties. To study this topic, we use single-molecule force spectroscopy with the atomic force microscope, along with cutting edge methods in protein engineering, and directed evolution. You can learn more about the lab at: https://www.chemie.unibas.ch/~nashm
