The vision and mission of the CPD

To accelerate protein design by developing a deeper understanding of sequence-to-structure/function relationships in proteins, and methods to programme these into functional designed proteins

To train the next generation of protein scientists for careers in protein design and engineering; and to apply protein-design methods to a diverse array of fundamental and real-world challenges.
