Edgar Boczek

Edgar studied biochemistry and biotechnology in Halle, Germany and Aberdeen, Scotland and performed his diploma work about protein design in the lab of Andreas Plückthun at the University of Zurich.

He went on to do his Ph.D. on protein folding and molecular chaperones in the lab of Johannes Buchner at the Technical University of Munich. Intrigued by the groundbreaking discoveries by Tony Hyman and Simon Alberti, he became a postdoc in their labs working on the quality control of phase separated compartments in vivo and in vitro.

Outside the lab, Edgar enjoys hanging out with his little son Noah, listening to music and loves hiking, quality wine and good food.
