🧵(1/3) It’s pseudosymmetry day!
First, fantastically creative design work by @QMDowling and beautiful cryo-EM by @YoungjunPark11 in @veeslerlab on giant pseudosymmetric protein nanocages: https://t.co/yYORQPOHXW
I’m stoked to share this research, inspired by virus architecture, to design protein nanocages larger and more complex than anything designed so far, revealing details of protein nanoparticle assembly and someday applications in vaccine and drug delivery https://t.co/Tb1F9DV6OX
It's a historic day for the lab: Our candidate nanoparticle #SARSCoV2 vaccine has been injected into humans — the first in-person test of our immunogen design platform.
Thanks to SK Bioscience 🇰🇷 for leading this Phase 1 trial.

@mollywood Working in the field, reliable delivery of mRNA is going to have a significant impact on medicine, this is just the beginning. However, the impacts are not “medical miracles.” They are the inevitable outcome of investment in research and expertise.
@MyriamSohail @Aleen@jk_rowling What about people who are XXY or XYY? People who are born XY and with a vagina? Or XX and a penis? All observed by science and taught in any good human A&P course.
The Rosetta Commons is a consortium of >60 labs around the world that develop the Rosetta program for protein structure prediction & design. We have put together a "Black Lives Matter Statement." It's been signed by 297 RC members incl. 64 PIs. Please RT! https://t.co/orzq8OEUUm
