Postdoctoral Fellow in Biochemistry
University of Tübingen
Germany

About the project

The project

  • addresses challenges in biocatalysis by leveraging machine learning to streamline the enzyme discovery process, accelerating innovation in pharmaceutical and chemical industries.
  • focuses on predicting and optimizing enzymes for industrial biocatalysis using machine learning models.
  • aims to develop an in-silico method to identify promising enzyme candidates for defined chemical transformations.
  • will develop Machine learning models using sequence, structural, and functional data to predict enzyme activity and design optimized enzyme variants, which will be validated in the wet lab.

Your host: Ziemert Lab led by Prof. Nadine Ziemert, in collaboration with Pfeifer Lab led by Prof. Dr. Nico Pfeifer at the University of Tübingen.

Your collaborating scientists: Alexander Fejzagic, PostDoc at Boehringer Ingelheim, and Marco Santagostino, Distinguished Research Fellow at Boehringer Ingelheim.
