Javin Oza, PhD

Javin is Assistant Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo. His research leverages cell-free protein synthesis technology and an expanded genetic code to manufacture, on-demand, previously intractable proteins and to elucidate how these proteins support the physiology of healthy and diseased cells. Before joining the faculty, Javin completed his post-doctoral training at Northwestern; he holds a Ph.D. Biochemistry from UC Santa Barbara.
