We develop protein design software and use 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.
We believe in open collaborative science, and we’re always looking for new people to join our efforts.
April 2025 | • Congratulations to postdoc Arvind Pillai who will be starting his own lab at the Stowers Institute for Medical Research. • Welcome new postdoc Chuanyun Xu, undergrads Lily Nuss and Sophie Gerdes, and visitors Felix Morey-Burrows and Cesar Ramirez Sarmiento. |

Postdoc Roman Barth, PhD, has received a Harold M. Weintraub Graduate Student Award. He’s now building new molecular machines.
Our fine-tuned AI model generates functional antibodies with atomic precision. It’s also free to use.
Custom catalysts may help break down plastics and synthesize medicines.
AI-generated proteins that protect animals in the lab promise safer, more accessible antivenoms.
Postdoc Han Raut Altae-Tran, PhD, has received a Life Sciences Research Foundation fellowship. He’s designing RNA-binding proteins to regulate key biological functions.
“We’ve created a new approach that uses simpler components, achieves greater precision, and can be applied to virtually any target molecule on the surface…
