Benjamin Jagger
Postdoctoral Scholar


My interests are focused on using computational modeling and simulation-based techniques to inform the design of enzymes. Specifically, I am interested in improving the therapeutic potential of Cas9 systems by designing properties such as reduced size, self-delivery ability, cell targeting specificity, and reduced immunogenicity.
