Protein design of novel immunotherapeutic drugs
antibodies - gene therapy - vaccines - cellular therapies - peptides
Schoeder Lab
at Leipzig University, Medical Faculty, Institute for Drug Discovery
Our Research Interests
We use computational protein design including machine learning to design proteins with new functionalities. Through interchanging application of computational protein design and experimental validation, we design a new generation of protein drugs.News from the lab
The 3D-Bioinfo 3D-SIG, ICSB and ELIXIR meeting in Prague!
Max, Johannes and Hannes joined me in visiting this outstanding meeting in a fantastic location. Just a train ride away in beautiful Prague.
We discussed the current state of bioinformatics and explored a lot of new ressources.
Thanks for the organizers for inviting me to speak about our protein design ideas!

Wonderful meeting in Brussel from the European Society for Gene and Cell Therapy! ESGCT2023!
Vivian and Johanna presented their work in a fantastic venue and explored new trends in gene and cell therapy. Johanna showed a poster on her work on scTv's - computationally deisgn and experimentally tested in our lab (cudos to Max Lingner and Victoria Most for helping with the project).
Vivian presented her work on profiling the AAV2 humoral immune response and her quest to reliable B cell sorting for AAV2 positive cells.
Great conference!

The Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) funds computational vaccine design for emerging viral diseases in the Schoeder and Meiler Lab!
With this funding we will use our computational methods to design stable viral surface proteins compatible with mRNA platforms. We will use Rosetta and machine learning in protein design to stabilize viral surface proteins.

Finally out in Structure!
Woods et al. on modeling and predicition of deletion mutants using AlphaFold2 and Rosetta benchmarked on a small helical domain. So far, deletion mutants were rarely structurally resolved, but here we have been using biomolecular NMR for an assigned helical SAM domain to observe structural changes for deletion mutants.
A great project that was a lot of fun with Hope Woods at Vanderbilt University!

Thanks for the great Keystone conference on Computational Design and Modeling of Biomoleculesin Banff!
We enjoyed this conference very much, got to know the latest news in the protein design field and presented our own research. On the left site Johannes presenting his poster on de novo protein likeness and some impressions from the venue!
It is such a great time in computational protein design.

Congratulation to Johannes Klier for finishing his Master thesis!
Amazing work trying to define what makes de novo proteins so special and whether we can identify proteins with similar properties in nature. Johannes will stay on and pursue his PhD thesis with us. All the best for your studies!
