    Rosetta@home News

    The Audacious Project


    As you may have heard, the Institute for Protein Design was recently selected as part of The Audacious Project. This large-scale philanthropic collaboration, which is the successor to the TED Prize, surfaces and funds projects with the potential to change the world.

    As a result, we are expanding our Seattle-based team of scientists and engineers who will work together to advance Rosetta, our software for protein design and structure prediction. The funding will also allow us to invest in the equipment, supplies and lab space needed to design and test millions of synthetic proteins.

    What challenges will we be tackling? Watch my TED talk to find out.

    All of this work — like everything we do — will depend on you, the participants in Rosetta@home. Whether it’s creating custom nanomaterials or safer cancer therapies, we rely on the Rosetta@home distributed computing platform. We cannot thank you enough for taking the time to be a part of this exciting research, and we hope you tell at least one friend that they too can play a role in the protein design revolution just by running Rosetta@home.

    Thank you,

    David Baker
    Director, Institute for Protein Design

    That's a very simple to understand 10 minute TED talk that sheds light into the future of mankind, I hope they can really hit the 5 challenges they are shooting for.

    From our part we can help by crunching away at Rosetta.
