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.

A WRAP for biology’s greasiest problem
A new way to solubilize membrane proteins without detergents using computationally designed “WRAPs,” making some of biology’s most challenging proteins easier to study.
-
Programming proteins with viral geometry
Computationally designed proteins can self-assemble into large, tunable nanocages inspired by viral capsids.
