Last week, Grace Hendricks successfully defended her dissertation and earned her PhD!

🚨 new paper alert 🚨 Here we demonstrate increased anti-RBS neutralizing responses elicited by stabilized influenza H5 immunogens: bit.ly/4u8UxJl

Yesterday Dane Zambrano successfully defended her thesis on hybrid lipid-protein nanoparticles! Excellent work Dr. Dane!!

🚨new paper alert🚨 Here, we show how recently developed ML tools can be leveraged to design self-assembling protein nanoparticle immunogens in the absence of experimentally determined structures of the oligomeric building blocks. Read more @PNASNews: doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2409566…

Couldn't have asked for a lovelier day to break ground in our new lab downtown!🌞

Thanks to Aia, Syed, Dixie, and James for joining us this summer as Rosetta Commons Undergraduate Researchers! We loved working with you these past 10 weeks and wish you the best as you head back home!

🚨 new paper alert 🚨 We present a method for designing protein nanoparticles with two unique faces that can bring together distinct biological targets at controlled distances! This project was led by Dr. Sanela Rankovic is out now in Nature Materials: tinyurl.com/yj8t476d

Congrats on graduating Priya! After working in the lab for 3 years on vaccine adjuvants targeting the CD40 signaling pathway in germinal centers, she earned a Distinguished Researcher in Biochemistry award! Now she's off to work on flu vaccines at NIAID’s Vaccine Research Center.

There's a new doctor in town, Cameron Criswell defended her PhD thesis last week! 🥳 Congratulations on all your hard work Dr. Criswell!

Our very own Grace Hendricks gave an excellent talk about her work on mRNA-launched nanoparticles at the Keystone Symposium on Vaccinology in Washington, DC today!
