Joy Wilkinson

Associate Researcher @ YGION Biomedical

About

A recent master graduate of the molecular biology master at the University of Vienna specialising in molecular medicine. My master thesis performed at the Institute of Special Prophylaxis and Tropical Medicine at the Medical University of Vienna was to Epitope map the SARS-CoV-2 RBD for the identification and characterisation of B-cell peptide vaccine candidates. My bachelor thesis concentrated on the purification and crystalisation of metabolism essential proteins from Trypanosoma Cruzi with the Gang Lab at Max Perutz Laboratories.
