Second prize at AI and biology symposium from the Schmidt Center

I was awarded the second prize at the Eric and Wendy Schmidt Center Symposium 2026 in Boston for my poster and short talk presentation titled "Biosynthesis of non-standard amino acids with AI" (poster #24). Thank you very much to the Eric and Wendy Schmidt Center for the opportunity to present my research and for this recognition!

And thank you to my collaborators, including Peter G Mikhael and Itamar Chinn, and to our mentors, George Church, Regina Barzilay, and Gregory Stephanopoulos, for their support throughout this project. Stay tuned for our manuscript 🙂

I look forward to continuing to work at the intersection of #AI and #BioChemE across scales — from amino acids, to proteins, to cells — to advance our basic understanding of cellular systems and develop new protein and cellular technologies.
