Cherina Lin obtained her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Bio-Pharmaceutical Sciences at Leiden University. During her Master’s, she worked on developing miniature synthetic transcription factors targeting a key driver of cancer development at the Leiden Academic Centre for Drug Research. Building on her interest in peptide-based therapeutics, she completed an internship at the University of Copenhagen, where she synthesized and investigated peptide-based modulators of biomolecular condensates.
Cherina joined the Big Chemistry consortium as a research assistant, where she focuses on automated peptide synthesis and building large peptide libraries for the physical characterization of bio-based peptide materials.
