Why borrow from nature when you can build better? Scientists just created enzymes from scratch — unlocking cleaner, smarter chemistry. #EnzymeDesign #GreenChemistry #SyntheticBiology

I am thrilled to announce that our lab has joined @Uni_Stuttgart and I have accepted the position as Professor of Technical Biochemistry! 🔬🥂 I am honored to follow in the footsteps of Prof. Bernhard Hauer, whose contributions to the field are truly inspiring.
We look forward to continue working on #EnzymeDesign, #Biocatalysis, #Biosynthesis and #NonribosomalPeptides. Thanks to Dr Kirti Sharma, Maximilian Müll, and Kexin Zhang for joining me on the journey from @LeibnizHKI to Stuttgart.

From the Institute for Protein Design at University of Washington:

"Today we are making RF Diffusion, our artificial intelligence (AI) program that can generate novel proteins with potential applications in medicine, vaccines, and advanced materials, free for both non-profit and for-profit use under a governed license. The software, which has been tested in the lab, is much faster and more capable than prior protein design tools."
