Summary
Taylor Stevens is a Postdoctoral Researcher and Caltech PhD who translates basic molecular biology discoveries into practical solutions, most notably co-leading the work that identified MTCH2 as a mitochondrial membrane insertase published in Science. With 11 years of experience spanning structural biology, protein biochemistry, and mitochondrial biogenesis, Taylor has designed modular toolboxes (24 plasmids) for nanobody-based purification and solved multiple protein crystal structures. They combine hands-on experimental innovation with mentorship and grant-writing experience, having supported an NIH R01-funded project and trained students and technicians. Based in Pasadena, Taylor also brings an entrepreneurial bent as a co-founder of Reboot-LLC, signaling an interest in moving lab discoveries toward real-world impact.
