Neil King

Neil is chair of Icosavax’s scientific advisory board. He is an assistant professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Institute for Protein Design at the University of Washington. During his postdoctoral research, he pioneered the development of general computational methods for designing self-assembling proteins with atomic-level accuracy. His group is extending these methods to design functional protein nanomaterials for applications in the targeted delivery of biologics and the design of next-generation vaccines. His work has been published in top-tier journals including Science, Nature, and Cell, and he has won several awards, including the 2018 Amgen Young Investigator Award.
