Our mission is to make bioinformatics accessible to every scientist.

Our vision

We live in an extraordinary moment for biology. Protein structure prediction, molecular docking, and generative design have moved from science fiction to routine practice in the span of a few years.

In the coming decade, computational biology will reshape how we discover drugs, design enzymes, and understand disease. The scientists driving that change should not have to become engineers to participate in it.

ProteinIQ exists to close that gap. We believe the people asking the questions should have the tools to answer them, and that modern science should be one click away, not one engineering sprint away.

Our journey

ProteinIQ started with a simple observation. The most powerful tools in biology, from AlphaFold to Boltz to state-of-the-art docking engines, were open source and free to use, yet almost no one outside a handful of computational labs could actually run them. The science was public, but the access was not.

I set out to fix that. Instead of reimplementing anything, I took the open-source tools the community had already built, wrapped them in a simple web interface, and put them on fast GPUs so that a single upload and a single click would return the same result you would get running the tool yourself.

That principle still guides the project. Every tool on ProteinIQ is a faithful implementation of the upstream code, with the original defaults, the full output, and the original citation preserved. I did not write AlphaFold. I did not write Boltz. My job is to make the work of the people who did reach as many scientists as possible.

Today, researchers at Harvard, Stanford, Cambridge, Thermo Fisher, and dozens of other institutions use ProteinIQ to run jobs that would have taken weeks of setup a few years ago. Every month that list grows, and every month the catalog of tools grows with it.

ProteinIQ is still a one-person project. I build it in the open, ship almost daily, and answer support emails myself. It is the platform I wished existed when I was at the bench, and the goal has not changed since the first line of code: science without barriers.
