Sophie is an expert in protein expression using various cellular systems. As associate principle scientist, she applies her knowledge to provide structural biologists with high quality protein sample to enable structure-guided drug discovery. Her background in cell biology, acquired at the University of Konstanz, empowered her to take over a leading position in the Swiss membrane protein-focussed startup LeadXpro. After six years, she now joins CHARM in an endeavour to combine her expertise in the expression of challenging target proteins with the exciting possibilities enabled by leading-edge computer science.
