Isabel Pardo Post-doctoral Researcher 
I use evolution to engineer proteins and microbes. Why do the work yourself when Nature can do it for you?
Role
My main roles include assisting fellow SEMsters with protein-related work (together with the group’s growing “Protein Faction”), helping develop high-throughput assays, and characterizing any fluorinases that come our way. My secondary role is to ask a lot of questions during group meetings to satisfy my own curiosity!
