Bio STem Academy Of Research​​

The BioSTAR Research Fellowship Track is designed for advanced undergraduate and graduate-level trainees who wish to contribute directly to the company’s active protein science research programs.

Participants are integrated into supervised investigations aligned with BioSTAR’s scientific mission in protein structure–function, molecular interactions, and therapeutically relevant mechanisms.

This track emphasizes rigorous methodology, reproducibility, and contribution to publishable research.

​

Research fellows may work within the following scientific areas:

• biochemistry and molecular biology
• structural biology and biophysics
• physical chemistry applied to biological systems
• computational and experimental protein science
• enzyme mechanisms and molecular interactions
• therapeutic target characterization

​

Depending on project needs, fellows may gain experience with:

• cloning and recombinant DNA methods
• PCR and construct design (tagged and untagged)
• protein expression and purification
• chromatographic techniques (FPLC/HPLC, ion exchange, affinity, size exclusion)
• electrophoretic methods (native and SDS-PAGE, isoelectric focusing)
• immunochemical methods (ELISA, immunoprecipitation, Western/Southern)
• crystallization and diffraction optimization
• X-ray data collection and analysis
• mass spectrometry
• spectroscopy (UV/Vis, fluorescence, circular dichroism, FTIR)
• dynamic light scattering
• electron paramagnetic resonance
• cyclic voltammetry

• small-angle X-ray scattering and rigid-body modeling
• molecular docking and rational screening
• enzyme kinetics and thermodynamic analysis
• analytical and ultracentrifugation technique

​

Fellows are trained to operate as junior scientists rather than as students completing predefined exercises.

Emphasis is placed on:

• hypothesis formulation
• experimental design
• interpretation of primary literature
• critical evaluation of data
• documentation of methods and results
• scientific writing for publication

​

Projects conducted within the fellowship track may lead to:

• internal research reports
• conference abstracts
• co-authored manuscripts
• peer-reviewed journal submissions

Scientific quality and reproducibility are prioritized over speed.

​

The BioSTAR Research Fellowship Track is intended for individuals seeking immersion in real scientific research environments — where uncertainty, iteration, and methodological rigor are fundamental — and where training serves the advancement of knowledge rather than coursework or credentialing alone.
