Hackel Lab at the University of Minnesota

2019 group

We are currently seeking multiple postdoctoral scholars.
Please e-mail [email protected] with CV and letter.

Our research program, in the Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science at the University of Minnesota, applies protein engineering technologies to develop physiological molecular targeting agents for molecular diagnostics and targeted therapy, with a focus on oncology and infectious disease. We balance (1) fundamental study of molecular evolution and protein biophysics, which empowers our protein engineering efforts; and (2) application of these advances to develop non-invasive diagnostics and therapeutics for clinical challenges in oncology and infectious disease. Our research is highly interdisciplinary including scientists, engineers, and collaborators across the Chemical Engineering and Materials Science, Biomedical Engineering, Pharmacology, Chemistry, Oncology, Physiology, Medicinal Chemistry, Radiology, and more. We appreciate the support of the National Institutes of Health, the American Cancer Society, the University of Minnesota, and biotechnology partners.
