Misha Klein

Misha Klein is a Researcher at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, affiliated with the Faculty of Science, Physics of Living Systems department, and the LaserLaB - Molecular Biophysics research group. They focus on interdisciplinary studies at the intersection of molecular biophysics, virology, and CRISPR technology.

Research interests include viral mechanisms (e.g., SARS-CoV-2 polymerase dynamics), RNA structure and function (e.g., double-stranded RNA thermodynamics), and CRISPR-Cas9 targeting fidelity. Klein’s work combines experimental techniques like magnetic tweezers with computational modeling to study biomolecular processes.

Recent publications highlight studies on SARS-CoV-2 replication machinery, argonaute protein behavior, and kinetic models for genome editing accuracy. Collaborations involve international teams, leveraging biophysical and biochemical approaches to address fundamental questions in molecular biology.
