Wengong Jin

Postdoctoral Fellow, Eric and Wendy Schmidt Center at the Broad Institute

Wengong Jin develops predictive and generative algorithms for antibody discovery.

Project Description

How specific antibodies and antigens bind to one another informs a range of treatment strategies, including cancer immunotherapies. However, current methods only allow researchers to evaluate only one or just a few interactions at a time. Wengong seeks to change this with his BroadIgnite award, and plans to build a novel deep-learning model to predict multiple antibody–antigen binding relationships at once—a tool that can advance disease areas, such as cancer, autoimmune disorders, and infectious disease.
