Wes Robertson
Wes joins the LMB as a new postdoctoral scientist in the laboratory of Prof. Jason Chin, where he plans to generate recoded genomes of E. coli with the potential to harbor significantly expanded genetic codes. Wes carried out his PhD research at Yale University in the laboratory of Prof. Alanna Schepartz, where as a synthetic biologist he investigated the potential of the translational machinery from E. coli to incorporate backbone-modified unnatural amino acids.

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.
