I provide independent scientific consulting at the interface of AI-based protein structure prediction and integrative structural biology, supporting academic and biotech projects that require careful model interpretation, method development, or scalable computational workflows.

My work combines experience in experimental structure determination (cryo-EM, macromolecular crystallography, small-angle scattering) with large-scale structure prediction and validation using modern AI-based methods.


Scope of services

Typical areas of support include:

  • AI-based protein structure and protein–protein complex prediction
  • Validation and interpretation of predicted and experimental structural models
  • Structural analysis to support experimental target selection and prioritisation
  • Large-scale inference campaigns and benchmarking studies
  • Design and deployment of reproducible structure-prediction workflows for HPC and cloud environments
  • Method development in structural bioinformatics and model validation


Example deliverables

Depending on project scope, deliverables may include:

  • Concise technical reports supporting experimental decision-making
  • Annotated structural model sets with confidence and validation assessments
  • Comparative analyses of alternative structural hypotheses
  • Reproducible computational workflows or pipelines
  • Feasibility or benchmarking assessments for AI-based modelling approaches
  • Accessible protein structure prediction pipelines for HPC and cloud environments, suitable for non-specialist users

Examples are drawn from recent academic collaborations and early-stage biotech projects.


Engagement models

Engagements are typically structured as:

  • Short advisory engagements Focused discussions, data or model review, and strategic input

  • Project-based work Defined scope and deliverables, with fixed or capped budgets

  • Retainer arrangements Reserved consulting capacity for ongoing collaboration across project phases

Details are agreed in advance based on scope and computational requirements.


Practicalities

  • Location: Hamburg, Germany (remote work by default)
  • Availability: project-based and advisory engagements
  • Cloud compute costs are handled separately from consulting fees
