De Novo Ligand Binding Site Design for Improved Biosensors

August 08, 2019

Talk, Sleeping Lady, Leavenworth, Washington

I present my work developing a new method to build small molecule binding sites from scratch. I applied my method to introduce binding sites into protein-protein interfaces to create new chemically-induced dimerization systems.

De Novo Ligand Binding Site Design for Improved Biosensors

February 15, 2019

Talk, Mission Bay Conference Center at UCSF, San Francisco, California

I was invited to give a lightning talk on my work applying my de novo binding site design method to engineering new chemically-induced dimerization systems. I also presented a poster on my work at this event.
