Sinduja Marx

As a doctoral student in the laboratories of David Baker in Biochemistry and Jens Gundlach in Physics, Sinduja studied synthetic biological channels for nanopore DNA sequencing and molecular diagnostics. Using de novo protein design principles, she generated diverse channel geometries and studied their ability to form pores within membranes. She also investigated the use of nanopores to study the SARS Cov-2 helicase. Sinduja is currently wrapping up projects and papers for her two labs.
