Innovating at the intersection of chemistry, biology, and engineering, Professor Brad Pentelute and the Pentelute Lab at MIT invent new chemistry, platforms, and techniques that might revolutionize therapeutics. Their formula in brief: nature-inspired research that begins at the molecular level, infused with state-of-the-art machine learning and automation, aimed at solving real-world problems. Take, for example, biotechnology’s longstanding protein delivery problem. Effective intracellular protein delivery has vast potential for improving human health and curing disease. The key challenge is delivering large molecules (e.g., peptides, proteins, and oligonucleotides) into cells. Pentelute and…
