Jonathan W. Picking

Jonathan W. Picking's work spans biochemistry and molecular biology, with recent projects examining enzyme mechanisms (such as a cobalamin-dependent methyltransferase), peptide-based approaches for separating rare earth elements, and engineered genetic tools like riboswitches for controlling gene expression in heat-loving microorganisms. This research mixes basic biochemical characterization with applied biotechnology, such as environmentally relevant mineral extraction methods. Prospective students would likely engage with protein biochemistry, microbial genetics, and peptide engineering techniques.

Publication output was minimal or absent for most of the last decade, with a small cluster of activity appearing in 2025-2026 following a multi-year gap.
