Anand Muthusamy is a graduate student at Caltech working in the Lester Lab at the intersection of chemistry and neuroscience. In our conversation we discuss his journey starting at Penn where he studied biochemistry with a strong grounding in philosophy. Working in the Petersson lab, focused on unnatural amino acid mutagenesis to control enzyme function and organic synthesis for the development of fluorescent probes, set up Anand to work under Luke Lavis at Janelia.
While at Janelia, Anand used synthetic organic chemistry to make molecular probes often having application for imaging in neuroscience. We talk about his current work in the Lester lab as well as his entrepreneurial ambitions and more.
