Biography

Reuben Leveson-Gower was born in Canberra, Australia to British parents and grew up primarily in the UK. He studied Chemistry at the University of Durham in the UK, where he pursued an industrial internship in organometallic chemistry and catalysis at SASOL UK in St. Andrews, Scotland. After graduating, he received the national Salters’ Institute Graduate Prize. In 2018, Reuben relocated to Groningen to pursue his PhD under the supervision of Prof. Gerard Roelfes, focusing on artificial enzyme design and evolution using non-canonical amino acids. During his doctoral studies, he spent several months learning computational techniques to study enzyme mechanisms under Prof. Jean-Didier Maréchal at the Autonomous University of Barcelona, funded by a FEBS Short-Term Fellowship. In 2023, he was awarded his PhD with distinction (cum laude).
