Simple Receptor Protein Generation

Receptor proteins are important for therapeutics, medicines, diagnostics and biomanufacturing. Generating new proteins is incredibly difficult however machine learning techniques have been developed to assist in evolving proteins. Using these techniques, I plan to create receptor mimics that are smaller and have improved properties. These will benefit many industries such as therapeutics, medicines, diagnostics and biomanufacturing. The Pardee lab at the University of Toronto will gain expertise in machine learning while the Umetsu lab will learn about cell free protein synthesis. The synergistic skill sets of both labs will lead to many future projects together.
