Raktim Mitra

I am a computational biologist working at the interface of protein design, structural biology, and machine learning. At the Institute for Protein Design, University of Washington, I develop novel AI-driven methods to rationally design proteins with the ability to bind specific nucleic acid sequences. My goal is to push the boundaries of biomolecular engineering to create functional molecules that can revolutionize gene therapy, diagnostics, and biotechnology. I am particularly interested in protein-DNA/RNA interactions, generative modeling, and the integration of physics-based and deep learning approaches for molecular design.
