Computational Protein Design Then & Now (1988-2024)
The field of protein design, once seen as a “lunatic fringe” problem, has transformed into one of the most revolutionary areas in modern science. During a recent webinar hosted by David Baker from the University of Washington, three distinguished scientists—Bill DeGrado (UCSF), Steve Mayo (Caltech), and Brian Kuhlman (UNC)—reflected on the history, breakthroughs, and future…
Read MoreThe Future of Rosetta is Now.
For a long time, the core of the Rosetta Commons value and impact has been found in the people as much as the software. While Rosetta’s technical development and contributions to science have had a huge impact, it is equally true that much of what the Rosetta Commons has done well has been collaboration, training,…
Read MoreIntroducing Rosetta Commons Foundation and Levitate Bio
Dear members of the Rosetta Community, The Rosetta Commons Board is excited to announce a significant milestone in the evolution of our community and a step on our path toward the Future of Rosetta. We have created a non-profit organization, the Rosetta Commons Foundation, which has established a wholly-owned subsidiary company called Levitate Bio. Levitate…

Hello friends of Rosetta, We’re thrilled to announce an exciting new chapter in our community’s journey! After 20 years of wonderful memories at the Sleeping Lady for our annual summer conference, we’re moving to a new venue in 2024. As part of our journey of growth and exploration, we are embarking on a new adventure…
Read MoreFuture of Rosetta Task Force Update
The FoR Task Force would like to share this update with the Rosetta Commons community. One year ago, at the start of 2022, the Rosetta board asked our group to explore open-sourcing Rosetta in order to adapt to the changing landscape and rapid developments in our field. Over the past year, starting with presentations on…
Read MoreDe novo proteins and where to find them – RosettaCon 2022
There has been a lot happening recently in protein design, and it is easy to get lost in the daily flood of new papers and exciting ideas (for an overview of current models and approaches see this review which includes a great model table). In such situations, it often helps to step back for a second, look at the bigger…
