DESCRIPTION:How can protein engineering prepare us for the next pandemic? 
 \nYou may have heard that mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell\, bu
 t proteins run the show. Proteins are the molecules that do all the work t
 o keep your cells running and your body alive and healthy.  We can also de
 sign proteins for a multitude of purposes - such as making vaccines.\n\nI 
 will talk about how we make self-assembling protein nanoparticles to displ
 ay viral components in a modular plug-and-play process using Spytag/SpyCat
 cher technology. This vaccine platform can be mass-produced and ready to g
 o in advance - which may be valuable to rapidly react to new pathogens. Co
 me along to learn about vaccine development\, or just to admire beautiful 
 protein structures.\n
