Shrinking Proteins with Diffusion

ICLR 2026poster

Many proteins useful in modern medicine or bioengineering are challenging to make in the lab, fuse with other proteins in cells, or deliver to tissues in the body because their sequences are too long. Shortening these sequences typically involves costly, time-consuming experimental campaigns. Ideall…
