About Rosetta Commons

The Rosetta Commons is a group of 100+ PIs that develop and apply computational macromolecular modeling methods. Our ethos is Science, Software, Community. RosettaCon is our longest-running annual conference, where hundreds of PIs, trainees, and industry staff gather to build community and discuss science and software.

Code from the Rosetta Commons is renowned for its function. It is licensed by 200+ companies and has been downloaded by academics over 100k times. Newer Deep Learning methods have already been accessed through GitHub by thousands of individuals.

Winter RosettaCon is an annual conference taking place in the eastern US, this year in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where Rosetta Commons member laboratories and guests share their latest experimental and computational research breakthroughs in macromolecular engineering and structure prediction. The Commons grew out of David Baker’s laboratory at the University of Washington into a consortium of international academic and government laboratories. A complete research ecosystem now exists, with industry labs also contributing back to the community.

Sponsorship funds will further our community goals to increase diversity and representation at RosettaCon 2024 in the following ways:

• • Reducing registration costs for academic participants and trainees.
  • Funding travel scholarships for trainees (undergraduate and graduate students or postdoctoral fellows).
  • Providing dependent care awards to assist in childcare and eldercare costs.
  • Offering student diversity scholarships to increase participation of underrepresented minorities.
