Main Focus
I would like to achieve a mechanistic understanding of peptide co-assembly using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)-based analyses combined with complementary techniques. My goal is to elucidate how sequence-dependent interactions govern early association and assembly pathways, and how these influence the resulting structure and function, with particular emphasis on capturing molecular-level details that are not readily accessible by established methods.
Curriculum Vitae
Nayeong Jeon received her B.Sc. in Materials Science and Engineering from the Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST, South Korea) in 2021. She subsequently obtained her M.Sc. from GIST, South Korea, in 2023, focusing on ice-binding protein–mimicking nanocryoprotectants for controlling ice–water interfaces.
In May 2024, she joined the group of Prof. Dr. Tanja Weil at the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research, as a PhD candidate.
