Biography

Possu Huang received a PhD from the California Institute of Technology, focusing on computationally designed novel protein-protein interfaces. He subsequently conducted postdoctoral research at the University of Washington before establishing his research group at Stanford University. His research primarily targets advancing the understanding of protein engineering and the development of novel therapeutics through protein-based nanotechnology. He has made significant contributions to the field, including the de novo design of proteins and the formulation of design principles for the TIM barrel fold, as well as the invention of eOD, an HIV immunogen design. The research group employs machine learning, computational modeling, structural biology, and experimental library optimization to further expand protein-based molecular platforms.
