Assistant Professor Lei Li discusses how he's using the same kinds of algorithms used for text generation to design and construct new peptides and proteins to help deliver new medical treatments.

SCS created "Does Compute" to explore how computer science is building useful stuff that works. The podcast delves into the latest innovations in computer science and discusses the real-world impact of these technologies. SCS teamed up with GeekWire Studios to bring these stories out of the classrooms and labs for all listeners — no coding required.
