Jonathan Weinstein is a Principal Scientist for Protein Design Algorithms & AI at Scala Biodesign, where he contributes to the development of ScalaOS, a computational platform for engineering enzymes with improved stability, expression, and activity across varied industrial conditions, including cell-free manufacturing systems. His work focuses on algorithm development for protein design, with an emphasis on translating computational methods into enzymes that perform reliably at scale.Jonathan completed his PhD in computational protein design at the Weizmann Institute of Science in the laboratory of Sarel Fleishman, one of the field’s pioneering groups in native protein design and structure-based computational methods. His research philosophy centers on rigorous, structure-informed algorithm development applied directly to the demands of industrial enzyme deployment.
