Summary
New drug modalities are needed to solve pressing medical problems. Cyclic peptides and microproteins show great promise and can be discovered by screening huge peptide libraires and machine learning-assisted microprotein design, respectively. We will use state-of-the-art instrumentation to allow us to find better molecules, faster.
