Meet the Innovators Driving Our Success

Quote by Arjan Hada. iBio has been a great place to connect the dots between computational protein design, machine learning, and wet-lab validation in our drug discovery programs. I've been able to run the full loop from building models and in-silico design to bench experiments and feed what we learn back into the pipeline. The culture encourages bringing in the latest methods, and I've had a mentor who is genuinely invested in my growth.
