Prof. David Baker in Biochemisty – one of the top researchers in the world in protein design – is looking for undergraduate and 5th year CSE students with some machine learning knowledge (e.g., some familiarity with PyTorch or Tensorflow) to work on projects using deep learning in his research lab. Understanding protein design is one of the keys to understanding disease. David has worked a lot with faculty and students in CSE in the past with great results, including creation of the online game foldit. More info here:
Deep learning for protein structure prediction and design
The prediction of protein structure from amino acid sequence and the design of proteins with new structures and functions are long standing scientific challenges. Deep learning has the potential to transform these areas, as illustrated by the recent advances by Deep Mind in protein structure prediction. The Baker group in the UW Institute for Protein Design has openings for students interested in research projects in this area, the only requirement is some familiarity with Tensorflow or PyTorch. Students would work closely with graduate students and postdoctoral fellows in the group with considerable domain expertise.
