Angela Steinauer

Angela Steinauer is a Tenure Track Assistant Professor at Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, specializing in chemical biology, directed evolution, and RNA delivery. Her research focuses on developing novel methods for efficient intracellular delivery of therapeutic proteins and peptides, with an emphasis on overcoming endosomal barriers. She explores the use of protein cages, miniature proteins, and nonviral nucleocapsids for targeted delivery. Her work also includes the engineering of virus-like architectures and the application of fluorescence correlation spectroscopy to quantify delivery efficiency. Steinauer's research integrates synthetic biology and biophysics to advance drug delivery systems.
