SPEEDy Delivery: Engineering Materials that Provide Specific, Programmable, Efficient, and Effective Drug Delivery - Engineered materials hold great promise for advancing macromolecule drug delivery technology. In the first part of this program, Professor Suzie Pun explains how her research combines molecular biology and chemistry technologies to design and develop functional materials that help overcome significant barriers to new drug development related to the intracellular delivery of macromolecules, "undruggable targets" and preferential delivery to desired cells.
Protein Design - In the second part of this program, Professor David Baker presents an overview of computational protein design and its connections to other research efforts taking place in the Molecular Engineering and Sciences Institute. The Baker Group has pioneered novel ways to engineer biological macromolecules and interactions, and to design and experimentally validate novel macromolecules with new and useful functions. A defining feature of their approach is the combination of new computational design methodologies with experimental studies.
