Our group develops protein design software and uses it to create molecules that solve challenges in medicine, technology, and sustainability. By iterating between computation and laboratory experiments, we continually improve our protein design methods. Together with collaborators at ISCRM, we're creating new signaling proteins and more to unlock next-generation stem cell biology and regenerative medicine treatments for patients.
