🧬 Welcome to the second installment of our "Cradle Unfolded" series, where we learn from the individuals who make up the Cradle team! In this post, we're honored to feature Jinel Shah, one of the scientists working diligently to optimize our wet lab processes. Jinel joins us with extensive experience from her previous position as a protein engineer at Genomatica, where she contributed to projects such as the commercialization of plant-based nylon production. Throughout this thoughtful conversation, Jinel shares her insights on the evolving field of protein engineering. She reflects on the potential of AI and machine learning to expedite the design process, the significance of fostering collaboration between biologists and mathematicians, and Cradle's efforts to make these advanced tools more accessible to the scientific community. From discussing the primary challenges in the field to expressing her interest in participating in our "Woman vs. Machine" protein design challenge, Jinel provides a unique and valuable perspective on the work being done by scientists at the vanguard of the protein design revolution. 👉 https://lnkd.in/djU-zBnS
We are so lucky that the amazing Jinel Shah is part of our team. 💗
Love this!! I've had an amazing time learning from you these past months!!
Awesome post! So happy to have you in the BioEngineering team, Jinel!
For several years at Genomatica, I got to work with and interact with Jinel Shah, including heading the department she was in. A very valuable protein engineer and great person!
Working with you is such a pleasure!! 🧪
Love this! Warm greetings from your San Diego! ☀️
Jinel Shah is such a superstar !
