Landon joined the Tian Lab in 2024, with a B.S. in biochemistry and three years of research experience in protein biophysics. As an undergraduate, he contributed to neurodegeneration research while cultivating skills in protein chemistry, microscopy, bioinformatics, and image analysis. Now as a postbac fellow in the Tian Lab, he is putting those skills to use by developing new high-throughput sensor screening pipelines. Through this work, he hopes to enable the lab to create more sensitive, robust, and useful genetically encoded sensors for the neuroscience community. After his postbac, Landon plans to pursue a PhD in neuroscience and continue to broaden his understanding of the field.
