The design and engineering of new proteins and peptides is revolutionizing biotechnology, with practical applications ranging from novel therapeutic and diagnostic solutions to the optimization of industrial processes and experimental tools. Artificial intelligence and computational approaches have been accelerating the accurate creation of novel functional proteins, bringing fundamental science closer to real-world applications and bridging research centers and industry. These advances are further supported by high-throughput experimental technologies that enable the large-scale generation and evaluation of proteins with greater efficiency.<\/p>\n

Kicking off with an opening ceremony on the afternoon of October 6th, followed by the main sessions on October 7th and 8th, CNPEM will host the second edition of the Symposium on Protein Design and Engineering. Supported by RosettaCommons, and with co-organizers from Fiocruz and industry (EMS)<\/span><\/span>, the symposium will feature leading international and Brazilian researchers in computational and experimental protein design, who will discuss and present recent advances in this rapidly evolving field<\/span><\/span>. The symposium will showcase research across the full spectrum of protein design,\u00a0<\/span>including <\/span>the development of AI- and computational-based methods, the de novo design of therapeutic binders, self-assembling proteins, biosensors, therapeutic peptides, and vaccines, combining computational and experimental approaches.<\/span><\/p>\n
