COLLABORATIONS
The Sum is Greater than the Parts
Collaborations are essential to Pine Biotech’s success in understanding the challenges our customers face and the difference we can make, so we embrace the philosophy that the sum is greater than the parts. As a result, we developed extensive collaborations with research institutions across the US, Europe and India.
We welcome collaborations with other research organizations, industry and all faculty!
Featured Collaborators


Dr. Sona Vasudevan, is a Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. She also serves as an adjunct senior bioinformatics scientist for Protein Information Resource (PIR) and directs the dual-degree program (MD/MS) in systems medicine, a program she created. Her expertise is in structural biology, structural bioinformatics, homology modeling, protein-ligand interactions, antibody-antigen interactions, drug-discovery and systems medicine.

Dr. Raul Andino studies several processes of the replication cycle of RNA viruses, including the mechanism of RNA replication, expression, and RNA packaging. His lab has also developed a method of adapting positive-stranded RNA as a vaccine vector to express antigenic determinants derived from diverse pathogens.
