🚀 Upcoming RSG-Korea 2nd Webinar — Don’t Miss It!

RSG-Korea is back with our 2nd Webinar in the RSG-Korea Webinar Series, and this one dives straight into one of the hottest topics in computational biology today 🔥

🧠🧬 AI-based Protein Structure Prediction and Design

🎤 Speaker

Minkyung Baek
Assistant Professor, Department of Biological Sciences, Seoul National University

Dr. Baek is one of the key scientists behind RoseTTAFold, a groundbreaking deep-learning framework that transformed protein structure prediction and design. Trained in David Baker’s lab at the University of Washington, her work sits at the intersection of AI, structural biology, and protein design, with applications in therapeutics, vaccines, and drug discovery.

🧠 What will this talk cover?

With the explosion of biological big data, AI-driven approaches are reshaping protein science. In this webinar, Dr. Baek will cover:

• The development of RoseTTAFold, a three-track attention-based neural network integrating sequence, distance maps, and 3D coordinates
• Applications to high-accuracy protein modeling and protein–protein interaction prediction
• Extension of RoseTTAFold into RFdiffusion, a diffusion-based generative model for de novo protein and binder design
• Current challenges and future directions in AI-based antibody and protein design

Whether you’re interested in structure prediction, generative models, or next-generation protein engineering, this talk offers a clear and exciting overview from a leader in the field.
