The genetic architecture of protein function

Alex is a postdoctoral researcher in Prof. Nicolas Thomae’s lab at EPFL in Lausanne, Switzerland. She is currently working on establishing high-throughput screening assays to develop novel cancer drugs and uses deep mutational scanning to understand targetable protein interfaces. In her PhD, which she did in Dr. Guillaume Diss’ lab at the FMI in Basel, Switzerland, she worked on sequence-function relationships of protein-protein interactions by conducting deep mutational scanning of an entire protein domain family.
