Our lab uses experimental and computational methods to design de novo proteins | @Stanford

Introducing SLAE, our new framework to represent all-atom protein structures with residue local chemical environment tokens! SLAE reasons over atomic interactions to recover structures and residue pairwise energetics, yielding a generalizable, physics-informed latent space. (1/8)

We have a new collection of protein structure generative models which we call Protpardelle-1c. It builds on the original Protpardelle and is tailored for conditional generation: motif scaffolding and binder generation.

New preprint from our group! We propose SHAPES, a set of metrics to quantify the distributional coverage of generative models of protein structures with embeddings at different structural hierarchies and quantify undersampling / extrapolation behaviors.

This is a clever way to use synthetic biology: taking a toxin that overactivate the immune system (superantigen), rationally modify its core components and transform it into a platform of immunotherapy agents. Congratulations to @haotiandu.bsky.social and @possuhuanglab.bsky.social on the 2 papers!

1/ In two back-to-back papers, we present our de novo TRACeR platform for targeting MHC-I and MHC-II antigens TRACeR for MHC-I: go.nature.com/4gcLzn5 TRACeR for MHC-II: go.nature.com/4gj5OQk

A new system, TRACeR-I, targets peptides on MHC I molecules with high precision, enabling specific tumor and virus cell killing. It powers CAR-T and BiTE therapies, showing potential to transform cancer and infectious disease treatment. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

A protein platform rapidly develops peptide-focused major histocompatibility complex class I binders with high specificity.
