We are seeking a highly motivated post-doctoral researcher with experience in protein engineering. 

The candidate will work on a DoD-funded project that is part of a highly collaborative and multidisciplinary team that is focused on the development of novel metal-binding proteins with high affinity and selectivity using a variety of techniques.

Professor Banta gave a seminar entitled “Biomining for the Production of Critical Energy Materials” at the Bio-Inspired Green (BIG) Science and Technology Symposium, at the Advance Science Research Center, New York, NY.

A new manuscript by Gokulu and Banta provides a comprehensive review of the methods used to conjugate proteins with oligonucleotides.   The selection of techniques will depend on application requirements such as yield, selectivity, conjugation location, cost, commercial availability, and potential impact on protein function. The manuscript was published in Trends in Biotechnology.
