Zuzanna Kozicka
I am a PhD student in the laboratory of Nicolas Thomä at the Friedrich Miescher Institute in Basel, Switzerland. I have an avid interest in molecular glue degraders and, more generally, in understanding how changes in protein interactomes can be brought about by the binding of small molecules. Prior to joining the Thomä lab, I completed my studies at the University of Edinburgh and I undertook various research projects, including one in the laboratory of Alessio Ciulli at the University of Dundee that focussed on PROTAC ‘linkerology’.
