What if AI could invent enzymes that nature hasn’t seen? 👩‍🔬🧑‍🔬 Introducing 🪩 DISCO: Diffusion for Sequence-structure CO-design 📝 Blog: disco-design.github.io 📄 Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2604.05181 💻 Code: github.com/DISCO-design...

Such an incredible journey building DISCO 🪩. Love working with this team. DISCO is a co-design model with functional, de novo, new-to-nature enzymes. Huge shoutout to my co-authors for making this a reality! 🚀👇

📢 We’re launching Proteina-Complexa — and after the Jensen keynote mention, we definitely had to post this thread now ;) Atomistic binder design with generative pretraining + test-time compute, plus large-scale wet-lab validation. Project page: research.nvidia.com/labs/genair/... 🧵 1/n

Children’s author Julia Donaldson and illustrator Axel Scheffler are this year’s recipients of the Bodley Medal, the highest honour awarded by the Bodleian Libraries. Previous winners of the Bodley Medal include Hilary Mantel, Kazuo Ishiguro and Zadie Smith.

You asked, we listened. Millions of AI-predicted protein complex structures are now available in the #AlphaFold Database. This spans homodimers from 20 of the most studied species, including humans, as well as the World Health Organization’s priority pathogens list. www.ebi.ac.uk/about/news/t...

In fair Verona, where we lay our scene — what here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend.

“One of the continuing scandals in the physical sciences is that it remains in general impossible to predict the structure of even the simplest crystalline solids” (John Maddox) OXtal is a new all-atom generative diffusion model addressing this holy grail problem

EU-Kommissarin Ekaterina Zaharieva besuchte gestern das AITHYRA-Institut für KI in der Biomedizin der #ÖAW und zeigte sich beeindruckt: KI, Life Sciences & unternehmerisches Denken werden hier vereint - ein Modell für andere EU-Mitgliedsstaaten, sagt Zaharieva. www.oeaw.ac.at/news/eu-komm...

Was wonderful presenting at the #AITHYRA AI for Life Science Opening Symposium in Vienna this week! Thank you @mmbronstein.bsky.social and @georgwinter.bsky.social for the invitation to present our newest work! #biology #research #AIforLifeScience @imbavienna.bsky.social @francesarnold.bsky.social

Best way to conclude the AITHYRA symposium with Otello at the Staatsoper (in the royal box, natürlich)

The first AITHYRA Symposium #AIinLifeScience at the House of Industry Vienna started with a very engaging and motivating video message from @eviholz.bsky.social Austrian Minister for Women, Science and Research. Link to video: tinyurl.com/2je333cu #AITHYRA is grateful for the trust placed in us!

We are honored that Nobel laureate @francesarnold.bsky.social of @caltech.edu is giving the keynote lecture tonight at the #AIforLifeScience Symposium!

“Machine learning will have the capability to find patterns where we can’t see them with our own brains or our own eyes”, says @deboramarks.bsky.social from @harvard.edu at the #AIForLifeScience symposium of #AITHYRA

The next big thing in AI for his field will be “modelling protein dynamics, not just static structures”, @moalquraishi.bsky.social from @columbiauniversity.bsky.social emphasises at #AITHYRA ‘s #AIForLifeScience Symposium

The current grand challenge in AI, that @marinkazitnik.bsky.social from @harvard.edu is especially excited about, is developing systems that serve as collaborative partners, working alongside human scientists. #AIForLifeScience #AITHYRA

“We need to start all over again and reinvent small molecule drug discovery in a way that is native to AI”, Greg Verdine, Co-Founder, President and CEO of LifeMine Therapeutics, is convinced. #AIForLifeScience #AITHYRA

“We can do science in a different way: generate very big datasets, train models with them, and then use that to predict and engineer biology”, says @benlehner.bsky.social from @sangerinstitute.bsky.social at the #AITHYRA #AIForLifeScience Symposium
