Designing proteins from scratch opens exciting new possibilities for solving global challenges in health and sustainability. That is why we are funding an ambitious new Center for Protein Design at @koebenhavns_uni.
Led by Professor Dek Woolfson, world-renowned in this field, the centre aims to build on recent breakthroughs to establish a powerhouse for protein design in Europe.

Now at #SBUK24 we're straight onto Protein and Genome Design session with the first keynote from @WoolfsonLab exploring rational and computational protein design and applications in modifying cellular transport

Great to see members of our Bristol-Syngenta award committee @Zhihang04505562 @apphillips98 and @SeraphimLeng sharing their experiences organising the award and how it has helped them developed soft skills for their CVs.
You read all about it below!
During a PhD it can feel like research should be your sole focus, but gaining transferable skills like communication and organisation is important no matter your career plans. From outreach to event planning, here are some extracurricular ways to help.

Excited to see our work in print at Nature Chemical Biology today! We are using protein/peptide design to manipulate the activity of kinesin-1 motors in cells. @MarkDodding @WoolfsonLab @BristolBiochem nature.com/articles/s41589-0…

I am so excited to share this news! I am extremely grateful and feel immensely privileged to return to the department where my fantastic professors and mentors taught me how amazing protein chemistry is and inspired and encouraged me to pursue academic research.
We are pleased to announce that Katherine Albanese will be coming back home when she joins our department as an Assistant Professor in August. Interested research students at all levels should take note! @KIAlbanese

I delivered my first international confidence short lecture last week @LMU_Muenchen at the 8th Foldamer symposium! I received lots of inspiring comments and look forward to sharing more results on 310 helical bundles with the foldamer community soon🤞🏻🌟

@SeraphimLeng and @Katie_Chemist are attending the 8th Symposium on Foldamers in Munich this week, both giving short lectures to a star-studded foldamers line-up! It’s looking to be an excellent couple of days!

Wonderful end to a busy week hearing about the work we do in our @MaxPlanckBris centre for minimal biology. Thank you to the Berger, Mann and Woolfson groups for demonstrating what happens when you share facilities and ideas so openly and effectively.

And that's the end of Day 1, and we've assembled all the TECS cohorts on Indecision (Cantock's) Steps, ft. @sbumbatha, @KristinaClare22 and @JonathanClayden. Well done today everyone, looking forward to the presentations from Cohort 2020 tomorrow!
