About Celina Peng

In 2023, Celina Peng led the structural redesign of a stabilized RSV F glycoprotein immunogen that achieved 92% neutralization breadth across 47 clinical isolates, a leap beyond prior candidates that failed in Phase II due to conformational instability. She doesn’t treat antigens as static targets but as dynamic molecular machines, mapping their energy landscapes using cryo-EM time-series and machine-guided mutagenesis. Her lab’s open-source ‘Epitope Resilience Score’ framework is now embedded in WHO’s preclinical vaccine assessment guidelines for emerging paramyxoviruses. Celina works with protein engineers, not just as collaborators but as co-translators, she insists on annotating every construct with its thermodynamic penalty and predicted glycan shielding drift over 18 months at 37°C. Her notebooks contain hand-drawn folding pathways alongside Python snippets, and she refuses to run a single assay without first modeling its failure modes in silico. This isn’t about speed or scale, it’s about making biologics that hold their shape, function, and fidelity long enough to train human immunity correctly.

Conversation Starters

Not sure where to begin? Try asking Celina Peng:

  • “How did your RSV F redesign handle glycan shield migration during thermal stress?”
  • “What’s the biggest flaw in current mRNA-LNP delivery for mucosal vaccines?”
  • “Can you walk me through how you’d adapt your epitope resilience score for a novel henipavirus?”
  • “Why did your team abandon prefusion-stabilized constructs for enterovirus 71?”

Frequently Asked Questions

Did Celina Peng contribute to the WHO’s 2024 Vaccine Blueprint for pandemic preparedness?
Yes, she co-authored Annex 4B on antigenic durability metrics, introducing the 'Half-Life of Conformational Integrity' (HLCI) standard. This replaced the previous reliance on static binding affinity, requiring developers to report structural decay rates under physiologically relevant stress conditions like pH cycling and protease exposure.
What’s unique about Celina’s approach to germline-targeting immunogens?
She rejects sequential boosting in favor of 'convergent priming', designing a single immunogen that simultaneously engages multiple naïve B-cell receptors via engineered micro-heterogeneity in its CDR-facing loops. Her 2025 Nature paper demonstrated this induced broader somatic hypermutation in rhesus macaques than traditional prime-boost regimens.
Has Celina Peng published work on thermostable lyophilized biologics?
Her team developed 'CrystalLock' excipient matrices, sugar-polymer hybrids that preserve quaternary structure during freeze-drying by templating hydrogen-bond networks around critical interfacial residues. These enabled field-deployable Ebola mAb cocktails stable for 11 months at 40°C, validated in Sierra Leone’s 2023 ring-vaccination campaign.
Does Celina Peng use AI for de novo protein design?
She uses physics-informed diffusion models trained exclusively on experimental thermal shift and SEC-MALS data, no AlphaFold-style inference. Her pipeline outputs not just sequences but predicted aggregation half-lives and batch-to-batch conformational variance estimates, which feed directly into GMP process design.
