In this video we take you inside the lab at the UW Institute for Protein Design. Our scientists are hard at work testing their first round of computer-designed coronavirus binding proteins.

The experiments in this video are the same ones we'll soon be conducting on the first batch of Foldit player Coronavirus Puzzle solutions.
