News
Associate biology professor Rhiju Das collaborated with the creators of Foldit — a game focused on protein folding — and developed EteRNA, a game that challenges players to design molecules for RNA-based medicines. More than 200,000 people have played EteRNA since its release in 2011, and their gameplay has helped lead to scientific discoveries. (Photo: Norbert von der Groeben/Stanford School of Medicine)
