About

My name is Leon Jeckel, and I am a Master's student in Chemistry at ETH Zurich with visiting research stays at Princeton University, MIT and the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard. I was selected as a Rise Fellow, a Fellow of the German Academic Scholarship Foundation, and recipient of the 2024 Hs. H Günthard Master Scholarship of ETH Zurich - an excellence scholarship for physical chemistry. My goal is to elucidate the biophysical mechanisms of pathological pathways so that we can better combat disease.
