This week the Institute for Protein Design celebrated its 10-year anniversary. Current members, advisors, supporters, and old friends all came together on campus to share memories and forge new friendships. It was a night to remember. A lot has changed in the past decade. At our founding, the concept of protein design was largely unproven. We believed that a new world of useful proteins could one day be built, but we could not imagine the breadth of projects and successes that would followed. Many of our original team members have moved on to other places, and we have welcomed hundreds of new colleagues into the fold. But one thing has always remained unchanged: our commitment to excellence in research. It has been a thrilling 10 years, full of discoveries and breakthroughs. We have made great progress in our mission, including by launching our first approved medicine, and we look forward to continuing our work for many years to come. Thank you to all of our supporters, old and new, for helping us make this work possible.
