The science behind your proteins and peptides.
I help teams and builders understand, characterize, and get the most out of their molecules — from structure and binding to stability, formulation, and dosing.
What I help with
Consulting grounded in real structural biology and biophysics — not forum lore.
Protein & peptide consulting
Independent scientific advisory on the molecules you work with — design decisions, characterization strategy, and the biochemistry behind what you sell or study.
Structure & biophysics
Structural insight from cryo-EM and biophysics: binding kinetics (K_D, k_on, k_off), expression systems, and assay design with BLI and SPR.
Stability, formulation & compatibility
Why peptides degrade, how to keep them stable, and what can and cannot be combined — reconstitution, buffers, aggregation, and dosing rationale.
Kadir Ozcan, PhD
I'm a biophysicist with a PhD from Purdue, currently a postdoctoral scientist at the Indiana University School of Medicine. My research has centered on determining the atomic-resolution structures of proteins involved in neurodegenerative disease — more than thirty of them — using cryo-EM and a full biophysical toolkit.
I work at the level of the molecule: how proteins and peptides fold, bind, degrade, and behave in solution. I started this practice to bring that rigor to the people who need it — founders, clinicians, and builders working with peptides and proteins who want answers grounded in the actual chemistry.
