Hi, I’m Nicholas (Nick) East, a researcher and current PhD candidate at the University of Melbourne working at the intersection of biocatalysis, protein engineering, and synthetic chemistry. I design artificial enzymes to perform reactions nature never intended — and use experimental tools, computational approaches, and intuition to understand and design them.
Find out more about me by following the links below.
I am primarily based in Canberra, Australia, at the CSIRO Black Mountain site, however I am sometimes found at the School of Chemistry at the University of Melbourne, in Parkville, Australia, where I am based in the Polyzos Group (https://polyzoslab.com/).
