Integrate ML and Experiments

Research: Functional Protein Design

Nature takes millions of years to evolve proteins for specific functions. Experimentally, we can mimic nature's evolution process to engineer proteins for specific functions. Unfortunately, sometimes, they work, mostly, they don't.

Using protein design, the 2024 Nobel prize-winning technology, we can fast-forward the evolution process and push the biomedical research and industry forward. Read more at Research. Get to know Dr. An at About PI.
