Teams at Convergent Research

Lead wetware integration of protein biosensors with surfaces, materials, and readout hardware. Design diagnostic assays to deconvolute biosensor vs. interface failure, run directed evolution, synthesize/adapt interface materials, merge devices with proteins, and automate fabrication/assay workflows to enable in‑vivo studies.

Design and validate novel biosensors combining allosteric switches, reporters, chemical modifications, and bioelectronic interfaces. Lead construct design, guide wet-lab screening, integrate device feedback, and mentor junior scientists and external collaborators to optimize performance and workflows.

Run and automate wet-lab workflows to evolve, express, purify, and characterize protein biosensors. Perform biophysical and device-relevant assays, generate quantitative performance metrics, support screening and directed evolution, and collaborate with engineering teams to scale reproducible assays.
