What they do

Problem

Designing novel proteins with high accuracy and control is slow and difficult using traditional experimental and computational methods.

Solution

Diffuse provides generative AI (including diffusion models) that designs and engineers new protein sequences and structures with unprecedented control and accuracy.

Who it's for

Biopharma companies, biotech researchers, and protein engineering teams who need to design new functional proteins.

I’m a bioengineer / computer scientist who’s worked on problems at the intersection of machine learning and biology. For the past several years, I’ve been working on re-envisioning the computational protein design toolkit with AI. Some highlights are the first crystal structures of AI-designed proteins and diffusion models for protein structure generation.
