Really fun and challenging (!) discussion with @bahl_lab on BindCraft, the state of binder design, the oustanding challenges and perhaps also some misconceptions in the field 💫 healthtech.com/the-chain/mart…

I never imagined this would happen ~8+ years ago. Just, wow. I'm so grateful to everyone in this community and for all the support and help from the many people that made it possible.
Boston Protein Design and Modeling Club@ProteinBoston

We just passed an exciting milestone: our one thousandth member just joined @ProteinBoston! Thank you so much to everyone who has made this journey possible, and we're excited to welcome many more wonderful folks to our nerdy protein club! bpdmc.org

@Alex_Cheru @AI_Proteins @CarcamoEdson At first glance, TBXT looks like a straightforward target for us to get a tight binder. However, it seems like the competition is for small molecules only? Our miniproteins aren't passively cell permeable (i.e. they stay on the outside of cells on their own)

@bahl_lab @AI_Proteins @CarcamoEdson Your focus on designing proteins to bind to tough targets is exactly what the TBXT Challenge is for. $500k for the team to computationally design a binder for an "undruggable" transcription factor. Would be incredible to see a miniprotein solve it. tbxtchallenge.org

We've got two more positions open for RAs to join @AI_Proteins! One is for our Protein Characterization group led by Alyssa Anderson, and the other is for our Biochemistry group led by @CarcamoEdson. These wet lab roles are a perfect for college students graduating this spring
AI Proteins@AI_Proteins

Our team is growing! We’re hiring for two new roles on our Biochemistry and Protein Characterization teams. These are hands-on, wet lab positions ideal for early-career scientists eager to make an impact and contribute to cutting-edge drug design. aiproteins.com/careers

I’m looking to hire a research tech for my lab at Harvard & DFCI, who would primarily work in the wet lab expressing and characterizing designed proteins, starting this summer. A great role for a recent college grad looking for an immersive research experience before grad school.

As someone who had a career in academia before industry - there are many things I love about academia, but my job satisfaction is higher in industry I hope things get better for all my friends in academia, because switching isn't the solution for everyone nature.com/articles/d4158…

I appreciate all the congratulations for our Series A! I also want to make sure we don't forget an important truth Funding is not the finish line. We're grateful for the resources we have, and my promise is that we'll continue to do everything in our power to make a difference
AI Proteins@AI_Proteins

AI Proteins has closed a $41.5 million Series A financing to accelerate the development of de novo #miniproteins! The round was led by @MissionBioCap and SANTÉ, with robust participation from existing investors. See the official press release for details: businesswire.com/news/home/2025…

“I don’t think the world needs another antibody company,” AI Proteins CEO Chris Bahl told me. “There’s plenty of those.” So Bahl built a miniproteins company, instead, now raising a $41.5M Series A. Will start spinning assets out into standalone LLCs: endpoints.news/boston-biotech…

@mrhighway_y @AndrewE_Dunn Yes, I'd say that a miniprotein is a type of peptide. I like to think of them as peptides that adopt tertiary structure.

This is the foundation for our next chapter at @AI_Proteins. We’ve industrialized the process of creating #miniproteins de novo while fully controlling every aspect of their activity and properties.
