Aujan Mehregan

Aujan is a structural biologist who enjoys combining engineering and biology, particularly in protein engineering and synthetic biology. Currently, he works as an Inside Sales Manager at Nuclera, where he shares Nuclera's innovative protein engineering solutions with scientists and organizations alike, addressing common challenges such as the need for multiple iterations to identify the right expression and solubility conditions for proper protein folding and activity. Aujan promotes the eProtein Discovery platform, a benchtop system that uses cell-free protein expression to accelerate protein synthesis and screening, addressing many of the challenges of traditional methods. Aujan is particularly interested in how the combination of microfluidics and protein engineering can advance synthetic biology, enabling researchers to optimize protein stability, function, and interactions. He is passionate about applying these approaches to areas such as drug discovery, industrial enzyme production, and understanding complex biological systems.

Miniaturizing Biology: Microfluidics and Cell-Free Systems for Global and Space-Ready R&D
4:30 PM

-

5:15 PM

This session explores how microfluidics and automated cell-free protein synthesis (CFPS) are transforming biological research by enabling rapid, high-throughput workflows in compact, accessible formats. Panelists will discuss how these technologies are minimizing infrastructure needs, making advanced molecular biology and biochemistry accessible in resource-limited or extreme environments—from rural clinics and pharmaceutical labs to low Earth orbit. Applications span early-stage drug discovery, accelerating protein discovery, biosurveillance, and decentralized response systems for global health preparedness.
