Research summary

Our research focuses on improving the accessibility and reliability of protein design, with the aim of increasing its use as a tool for tackling challenges in biotechnology and synthetic biology. To do this, we're developing software that applies machine-learning, computational modelling and structural bioinformatics to help guide users through the protein-design process.

Current research interests

Protein design, protein structure, structural bioinformatics, machine learning, experimental automation.
