The Washington Research Foundation highlighted the Group’s in house molecular dynamics software, in lucem molecular mechanics, in their 2007 Annual Report.

The Daggett Group was named a UW Technology Gap Innovation Fund Recipient for 2007. This grant supports development of a graphical user interface and protein and drug design functionality for ilmm, the Group’s in house molecular dynamics software.

September 2007 The Daggett Group’s work on prion protein was referenced in the September 2007 issue of Wellcome Trust’s Big Pictures Series on Epidemics.

August 27, 2007 The work on prion protein was again cited in the August 2007 Issue of Chemical and Engineering News.
