“Scientific breakthroughs do not happen in isolation; progress depends on the collective contributions of many.” — David Baker, 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry David Baker has always believed in community. This was deeply felt last week as more than 100 professors, current trainees, and other members of the Rosetta community joined him in Stockholm as…

I am a postdoc in my final year in Prof. Bill DeGrado’s lab. During one of our weekly meetings, Bill and I discussed potential future research directions. He suggested that visiting another lab could broaden my perspective on protein design. After some thought, I realized that spending time in Prof. Jeff Gray’s lab would be…

In a heartfelt virtual event just days after the 2024 Nobel Prizes were announced, over 300 members of the Rosetta community — colleagues, scientists, past lab members, and PIs — gathered with David Baker to celebrate his recent Nobel Prize “for computational protein design.” The event was a reflection on the journey and impact of…

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,…

As a community, we aim to maximize the benefits and minimize the potential for harm of tools used for biomolecular design. We recognize that doing so will require a clear theoretical understanding of the benefit-risk profiles of our tools, and of how their development fits in the landscape of technological advancements and policy development. To…

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…

Dear Rosetta Community, We are thrilled to announce the winners of our recent Science Image Contest! The response we received was great, with an array of breathtaking images showcasing the beauty and complexity of our communities’ scientific research. After much deliberation, we have selected the top three submissions that stood out for their creativity and…

The Winter RosettaCon organizers want to thank Liberum Bio for sponsoring the experimental validation of the designs that they carried out in 8 days starting from digital sequences! Liberum Bio produces proteins at high yields in cell-free systems at a fraction of the usual cost and time via highly engineered strains and state-of-the art reaction…
