✨ “Ask yourself, ‘Who do I inspire?’” — Freeman Hrabowski, President Emeritus of @UMBC, at the first annual HHMI #FHScholars symposium. “Keep believing in yourself. You have to believe you will change the world.”
Honored to have him join us for this special event! 🌟

Congratulations to HHMI Investigator David Baker who has won the 2024 @NobelPrize in Chemistry for his work on computational protein design! He shares the prize with Demis Hassabis and John M. Jumper for protein structure prediction. #NobelPrize hhmi.org/hhmi-david-baker-wi…

The 2024 #NobelPrize laureates in chemistry Demis Hassabis and John Jumper have successfully utilised artificial intelligence to predict the structure of almost all known proteins.
In 2020, Hassabis and Jumper presented an AI model called AlphaFold2. With its help, they have been able to predict the structure of virtually all the 200 million proteins that researchers have identified. Since their breakthrough, AlphaFold2 has been used by more than two million people from 190 countries. Among a myriad of scientific applications, researchers can now better understand antibiotic resistance and create images of enzymes that can decompose plastic.

Dr. Fauci's talk at the 40 Years of HIV Science Conference in Paris was an inspiring reminder of the history, triumphs, and ongoing challenges of the HIV epidemic. Crucial reflections just before #WorldAIDSDay2023.

Chroma out in Nature today! So glad to finally be able to share details of our experimental validation including x-ray crystallography with the world 💎 tl;dr, our generative model for protein design is working really well. Publicly available code, click through below!
Today we release Chroma, our generative model for protein design, open-source on Github with a Nature publication describing its biophysical and crystallographic validation. Chroma Conditioners enable one model to target multiple protein design objectives. generatebiomedicines.com/chr…

I'm delighted to share that I'll be joining @TheCrick as a group leader in spring 2024. Our lab will focus on tumor immunology, antigen presentation, and immune cell-cell interactions using LIPSTIC.
If you're interested, I'll be hiring postdocs and PhD students. Get in touch!

Last year, two Science papers revealed the structures of the #Bcell receptor complex.
The results are likely to inform the development of highly effective vaccines, therapies for cancers, and treatments for autoimmune diseases. scim.ag/3WK #ScienceMagArchives
