Welcome to the Kuhlman Lab.

We are in the Department of Biochemisty and Biophysics at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. We use a combination of computational and experimental methods to design proteins.

Currently we are focusing on a variety of design goals including the creation of novel protein-protein interactions, protein structures and light activatable protein switches. Central to all of our projects is the Rosetta program for protein modeling. In collaboration with developers from a variety of universities, we are continually adding new features to Rosetta as well as testing it on new problems.

Please see our research page for more information.
