About our labThe Karlsson Lab is located at the University of Maryland in College Park in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering. Our lab uses the tools of protein and peptide engineering to improve the understanding and treatment of human disease. We use both rational design and directed evolution to engineer proteins and peptides, giving us a powerful set of molecular tools. Our work develops methods to improve therapeutics for infections caused by Candida albicans (the most common fungal pathogen in humans), studies protein-lipid interactions, and explores methods to target proteins important in cancer.
