Andrea Carobbi

Associate Researcher (Scientist) @Nutropy

Évry, FR

At Nutropy, I design and execute molecular biology and protein analysis workflows to improve sustainable protein production processes.Technical Expertise• Designed, developed, and optimized SOPs for targeted (multiple-)gene integration, and microbial strain engineering using GoldenGate and Gibson assembly, generic recombination and knock-in/-out strategies.• Optimized microbial transformation protocol for improved gene insertion/deletion rate to enhance heterologous protein production.• Developed and validated various expression systems for single and co-expression of genes.• Performed high-throughput screening and protein analysis to evaluate microbial fitness, protein yield, and quality.• Automated data acquisition and experimental workflows using Python to increase throughput and improve data traceability.• Proficient with TECAN, ELISA, Western blotting, and fluorescence-based assays.• Trained in chromatography techniques (AKTA systems – IEX, SEC, affinity, HIC) and currently expanding expertise in AI and machine learning applications for integrating computational approaches into experimental pipelines.Cross-functional collaboration:• Contributed to product development by collaborating with downstream, analytics, protein, and food science teams to optimize protein yield, activity, and stability under strict QC standards.• Prepared periodic presentations for management and investors, aligning scientific progress with business objectives.• Mentored interns and junior researchers.
