About Aminata Touré
Hi there !
My name is Aminata and I am a first year Life Sciences Engeneering Major at EPFL.
I am passionate about harnessing scientific progress to better people’s lives, and I hope to focus my efforts on rehabilitative technologies. I am confident that scientific progress is to be driven by the desire to create meaningful change, and that the Laidlaw experience is a fantastic mixture of both.
My interests include reading, watching roms-coms, and travelling.
Do not hesitate to reach out and/or connect, I'd love to hear from you :)

How interesting, Serena ! I am looking forward to reading your research report to get more information on the topic :)
Thanks for this write-up! It's interesting to learn that it may be to produce mimetics of these receptors that can fulfil the same purpose, whilst also being capable of functioning in different conditions. You're doing some really amazing work!
Thank you for your attention Serena ! I have definitely discovered so much over the course of this internship, and it has helped me redefine what is or is not possible.
Fascinating work, Aminata! Excited to see where your research leads you!!
Thank you so much for your support Ben !
Congratulations on your work! All of those laboratory manipulations seem so interesting — I would love to see them with my own eyes! It's incredible what we can do on such a small scale!
Thank you so much for your interest Emma ! I will try to include some pictures in my report, to better illustrate what the manipulations entail.
Great work, Aminata! Turning tricky, difficult to handle proteins into friendly, water loving versions sounds brilliant. It’s like giving them little swimsuits so they can play nicely in the lab. Can’t wait to see how your mimetics perform!
Thank you so much for your interest Bianca, it is a brilliant metaphor, that really sums up what we have been trying to achieve in the laboratory. I look forward to sharing the results with you !
