Our paper using ProteinMPNN redesign for improved properties is up on JACS! Huge thanks to Reyes, Indrek Kalvet, Sam, and many others for their work. Shout out to Justas Dauparas for developing such a groundbreaking (and versatile!) tool. Institute for Protein Design pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…
My first paper at Oxford Chemistry is out in Nature Photonics: Single-protein optical holography! Big thanks to Emanuel Pfitzner and Philipp Kukura. We improved the sensitivity of optical holography by orders of magnitude to detect single proteins. 1/5 nature.com/articles/s4156…
Super excited to share our paper “Design of amyloidogenic peptide traps” is out now! 🧠nature.com/articles/s4158… Special thanks to Ewa Andrzejewska , Danny Sahtoe and David Baker
My group at ISTAustria is recruiting a lab manager/research technician to join when we start in July! If you're passionate about science and thrive in a dynamic environment, apply here: ista.ac.at/en/job/?title=… #ResearchJobs #LabManagement #ScienceCareers
Very cool application of de novo protein design to a real-world problem. Great Job Susana Vazquez Torres and team!
I am very excited to welcome the very first postdoc (actually first group member) in my new lab ISTAustria: Welcome Iori Morita!
Congratulations Lukas Milles! This is going to be a great place ro be for students and postdocs. Also, now I'm curious about the "more to follow...."
Our work validating designed membrane b-barrels in silico is published! It started as Elixir #3DBioinfo meeting discussion (I generated models instead of preparing my talk), then a fun exchange with Sergey Ovchinnikov. Thanks to all!

Today in nature we present the results of our exploration of the soluble protein universe and the design of functional soluble membrane proteins with Casper Goverde Nico Goldbach Bruno Correia 1/6 nature.com/articles/s4158…
Hot off the press: New paper about computational design of oligomeric proteins that can be triggered to change size and shape through allostery. Check out the beautiful thread by Arvind S Pillai !
Three ISTAustria scientists have won @erc_research Starting Grants #ERCStG! A combined 4.8 million euros will go to Marco Mondelli, Alicia K. Michael, and Lisa Bugnet. Read more about the scientists and their projects đź”— bit.ly/3XvfQXo
