Welcome
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 and collaborative science, and we’re always looking for new people to join our efforts.
