Neil King, PhD, is an associate professor in the Department of Biochemistry at the University of Washington School of Medicine. The King Lab develops and uses computational methods for designing protein nanomaterials with atomic-level accuracy, with a focus on structures suited for applications in medicine.
As a postdoctoral scholar in the Baker Lab, Neil pioneered the design of self-assembling protein nanomaterials materials. His group is now extending these methods to create next-generation vaccines and other functional materials, including for targeted drug delivery.
Neil joined the UW Medicine Department of Biochemistry and Institute for Protein Design as a Translational Investigator before transitioning to a faculty position in 2017. He studied biomedical engineering as an undergraduate at Northwestern University and completed his PhD in biochemistry in the lab of Todd Yeates at UCLA.
