Justin Echternach@jechternach · Independent Researcher
I'm an independent researcher in quantum biology. I ask which quantum effects can survive in warm, wet, living matter, and I test each claim with calculations anyone can rerun: structures, molecular dynamics and quantum chemistry, set against systems where the answer is already measured. My current work follows how proteins move light energy between aromatic amino acids. I publish in the open, corrections included: when a longer simulation overturns one of my own claims, the new version says so. I also build Synthesis Lab, the tool these papers are written with.
