I am an MIT PhD student in Debora Marks lab (Harvard). I am interested in deep generative models of proteins, especially modeling viral and antibody sequences and structures. My research develops models to learn viral antibody escape by combining fitness models with biophysical and structural information. These models can be used to identify high escape variants and to design and test future-proof vaccines.
