AG LEIPPE
The Leippe Lab opens on 1 November 2026 at the Rudolf Virchow Center.
The Leippe Laboratory develops genetically encoded fluorescent biosensors and combines them with functional genomics to make metabolism visible in real time. We engineer high-performance sensors for intracellular metabolites by screening pooled biosensor variant libraries at large scale directly in human cells, and pair this with machine learning to understand how protein sequence drives biosensor performance. We then deploy these sensors in CRISPR screens to tackle fundamental questions in metabolic compartmentalization and transporter biology.
Our work sits at the interface of protein engineering, imaging, and functional genomics. More details to follow.
We are recruiting PhD students and one postdoc, earliest possible start date November 2026. Application deadline 31st August 2026.
