Peptide Design

Project Leads: Gean Hu, Shreya Ramesh

The Peptide Design Team’s goal is to better understand how to use computational techniques to study and design proteins and peptides. The ability to design novel peptides for a specific purpose has many potential therapeutic applications, such as blocking certain key protein-peptide interactions in a particular disease’s signaling pathway. We want to explore the scientific literature surrounding peptide design, and are specifically interested in developing a clear, easy-to-use pipeline for the computational design of peptide inhibitors for protein-protein interactions.
