Want to have your engineered proteins measured for free? Now's your chance! 🧪

Let's finally see how different design methods stack up in the Protein Engineering Competition 🧬

Register to compete this summer☀️😎

We are hiring for a new Program Director for a Synthetic Biology Center that will focus on materials and engineering environmental microbes. The Center spans Stanford, MIT, Northwestern and several other institutions. Please email me or Christopher Voigt if it is of interest.

Interested in protein design, deep learning, computational biophysics? Or computational RNA folding, vaccines, enzymes, antibodies, biomaterials, machine learning? Become a Rosetta Commons undergraduate summer intern (@NSF #REU ) or a postbaccalaureate fellow ( #RaMP )!

Excited for the #SyntheticBiology Based Therapies Summit to kickoff in a few minutes in Boston this morning

Data scientists going from bronze to silver to gold data bricks in one step!

Our preprint on OpenFold, our trainable reproduction of AlphaFold2, is finally up (biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…)! Since we open-sourced parameters in June, we've trained the model to high accuracy more than 50 times, on a variety of datasets. Here's what we learned (a lot) -> (1/19)

[PLEASE RT] With my awesome co-chairs, I'm excited to share the (nearly complete) program for one of my FAVORITE meetings: Synthetic Biology Gordon Research Conferences 2023. This meeting is special -- I highly encourage folks to register and attend! MicroDynamic 🌱

Twitter fam, thank you for helping me to find the family of the 9 year old girl from NJ who had the police called on her by her neighbor for collecting lantern flies. I connected with them & invited them to @yale for a Black girl led Science Tour! Yesterday—HISTORY was MADE (1/)

Self-assembling nanoparticle technology created at King Lab is the basis for a #COVID19 vaccine approved in South Korea. Now, an #RSV vaccine with the same platform is in clinical trials through Icosavax.
