“Villin Headpiece Folding” (2011) consists of four sculptures created with faculty and students of DePauw University for the science building. The sculptures are based on frames of a protein folding simulation by Klaus Schulten’s research group.

This Emmy Award-winning video by Steven Drake features Voss-Andreae’s “Villin Headpiece Folding” (March 27, 2012):
