Conor McMahon

Conor is a bioengineer with a focus on biomolecular and protein engineering. He has experience in engineering proteins and analyzing their interactions with various biological compounds, as well as a widespread understanding of molecular mechanisms and emerging topics in molecular biology.

Conor’s research involved engineering a small fluorescent peptide that can tag and image small biological compounds without unwanted steric hindrance. He has extensively researched protein structures that inhibit the binding of staphylococcus bacteria to mammalian cells.

Conor earned his Bachelor of Science and Master of Science in Bioengineering from Santa Clara University.
