Bio

Julia Koehler Leman joined the Simons Foundation in 2016 as a member of Richard Bonneau’s lab. She was previously a postdoctoral fellow in the chemical and biomolecular engineering department at Johns Hopkins University. There, she developed applications in the Rosetta software suite for biomolecular modeling, docking and design. Leman has an M.S. in physics from Leipzig University in Germany and a Ph.D. in chemical and physical biology from Vanderbilt University.
