Hot off the press: New paper about computational design of oligomeric proteins that can be triggered to change size and shape through allostery. Check out the beautiful thread by Arvind S Pillai !

Three ISTAustria scientists have won @erc_research Starting Grants #ERCStG! A combined 4.8 million euros will go to Marco Mondelli, Alicia K. Michael, and Lisa Bugnet. Read more about the scientists and their projects 🔗 bit.ly/3XvfQXo




Excited to join the Gene Center at LMU Gene Center Munich Universität München as a professor, looking forward to design some cool and unusual de novo proteins here!

Finally, out in Science Magazine today, our work on de novo protein design. Together with Motoyuki Hattori (服部素之) , Sergey Ovchinnikov & @hendrik_dietz we showed how we can drastically improve AF2 based hallucination, surpassing, or reaching SOTA diffusion models doi.org/10.1126/scienc…


After showing that AF2 can be used to design very large proteins by performing #RSO, I am happy to share another fun project we did: the #af2cycler Sergey Ovchinnikov @hendrik_dietz biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
