Bruno Correia, assistant professor at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), focuses on developing computational tools for protein design, emphasizing strategies in immunoengineering, such as vaccine development and cancer immunotherapy. After completing his PhD in Computational Biology at Universidade Nova de Lisboa, he advanced his research in prominent laboratories including the University of Washington and the Scripps Research Institute. His early studies sparked an interest in immunogen design and vaccine engineering, resulting in significant advancements in the field that led to the development of computationally designed immunogens to elicit neutralizing antibodies. With a strong foundation in chemical biology, he has worked on novel chemoproteomics methods for identifying protein-small molecule interaction sites in complex proteomes. His lab at EPFL has successfully secured two prestigious research grants from the European Research Council, underscoring his contributions to computational design and functional protein research. Among his notable achievements, he received the Protein Science Young Investigator Award in 2021 and a teaching award from EPFL in 2019. His current research involves innovative methods for deciphering protein functional properties and designing functional proteins through computational frameworks and machine learning approaches.
