Assistant Professor, Institute for Protein Design, Department of Biochemistry
University of Washington School of Medicine
Neil King studied biomedical engineering as an undergraduate at Northwestern University, followed by graduate studies in biochemistry in the lab of Todd Yeates at UCLA. As a postdoctoral scholar in the lab of David Baker at the University of Washington, he pioneered the development of general computational methods for the design of self-assembling proteins with atomic-level accuracy. He joined the Institute for Protein Design at UW as a translational investigator in 2014 before transitioning to an assistant professor in 2017. His lab uses and extends computational methods to design functional protein nanomaterials for applications in structure-based vaccine design and targeted delivery of biologics.
