Research in the Schneebeli group is focused on protein biotechnology. We use interdisciplinary tools from industrial and physical pharmacy, supramolecular chemistry, organic synthesis, and multiscale computer modeling to advance the delivery and stabilization of peptide drugs. We make use of innovative technology, including advanced next generation affinity reagents (artificial antibodies) and catalysts (artificial enzymes) developed in our lab, as well as state-of-the-art single-molecule sequencing technology and machine learning to find faster ways to discover selective delivery methods for peptide drugs. Graduate, undergraduate, and professional students in the Schneebeli group gain valuable interdisciplinary experience in industrial and physical pharmacy, organic synthesis, supramolecular chemistry, materials characterization, and computer modeling.
