I have postdoc positions available to lead two new exciting projects! One is on in situ protein sequencing (collab with Ed Boyden at MIT) and the other is on modeling cryptic pockets for drug discovery (collab with Scripps and MGH). Reach out if interested! Details below
We always strive for our work to substantially benefit the greater scientific community, and it's such a thrill every time it happens. A massive thank you to @Addgene for amplifying the impact of researchers everywhere!

If you found this SUMO protease helpful, check out our latest publication which builds on it and makes it even better: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
Hopefully another 100+ research labs around the world will benefit!
p.s. for the folks who live in #Boston, the beloved Citgo sign is almost back on top of @AI_Proteins headquarters at 660 Beacon St!
Every protein designer knows that producing & testing designed proteins is a foundational capability for our field, & this is still pretty challenging for a lot of folks. This is why I'm delighted to share our work to make high-throughput protein production more accessible.
🧵👇
We look forward to seeing all of the exciting results that people generate using this method, and please don’t hesitate to reach out to any of us if you have questions!
The data, code, and detailed protocols are all available on github

and all the plasmids are available on addgene
