Natalie Krahn
Principal Investigator
In the vast realm of scientific exploration, Natalie stands as a beacon of brilliance. Her postdoctoral research at Yale University with Dieter Söll led her to chart unexplored territories in synthetic biology, akin to a mariner drawn to the mysteries of the uncharted sea. Developing a profound affinity for the 21st amino acid, selenocysteine, she harnessed its potential as her guiding star. Prior to this, her foundation in biophysics was laid at the University of Manitoba under Jörg Stetefeld's guidance. It was there where she mastered the complex dance of protein-protein and protein-nucleic acid interactions. Her adventurous and inquisitive spirit propels her quest, continuously exploring the vast ocean of scientific knowledge.
