A new computational technique could make it easier to engineer useful proteins

MIT researchers plan to search for proteins that could be used to measure electrical activity in the brain.

Generative AI imagines new protein structures

MIT researchers develop “FrameDiff,” a computational tool that uses generative AI to craft new protein structures, with the aim of accelerating drug development and improving gene therapy.

New model offers a way to speed up drug discovery

By applying a language model to protein-drug interactions, researchers can quickly screen large libraries of potential drug compounds.

AI system can generate novel proteins that meet structural design targets

These tunable proteins could be used to create new materials with specific mechanical properties, like toughness or flexibility.

Bacterial injection system delivers proteins in mice and human cells

With further development, the programmable system could be used in a range of applications including gene and cancer therapies.
