🚨 new paper alert 🚨
Here, we show how recently developed ML tools can be leveraged to design self-assembling protein nanoparticle immunogens in the absence of experimentally determined structures of the oligomeric building blocks.

🚨 new paper alert 🚨
Here, we present a method for designing protein nanoparticles with two unique faces that can bring together distinct biological targets at controlled distances!
This project was led by Dr. Sanela Rankovic is out now in Nature Materials: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Congrats on graduating Priya! After working in the lab for 3 years on vaccine adjuvants targeting the CD40 signaling pathway in germinal centers, she earned a Distinguished Researcher in Biochemistry award! Now she's off to work on flu vaccine research at NIAID’s Vaccine Research Center.

There's a new doctor in town, Cameron Criswell defended her PhD thesis last week! 🥳
Congratulations on all your hard work Dr. Criswell!

On Monday the lab celebrated "Cinco de Cara" in honor of Dr. Cara Chao successfully defending her PhD thesis! 🥂
In addition to making MERS vaccines, Cara is a beloved member of the lab who often shares tasty baked goods and infectious laughter.
Congratulations!
