New Students
Daniel Dunkelmann and Louise Funke have joined the Chin lab to carry out their PhD studies. Louise joins the Chin lab for her PhD and will work on genome engineering, switching topic after having worked on finding new orthogonal tRNAs in her Master’s thesis in the Chin lab. Louise previously studied Biochemistry at the Technical University Munich and did her Bachelor’s thesis in the Hartl lab at the MPI Biochemistry in Munich. Daniel has joined Jason Chin’s lab where he will work in the field of genetic code expansion. During his masters degree, which he obtained from ETH Zurich, he carried out research projects in the labs of Prof. Bradley Pentelute, Prof. Hiroaki Suga and Prof. Donald Hilvert.
