Candida albicans is usually hanging out with bacterial neighbors, so what happens to the fungus during co-culture? The bacteria secrete metabolites that induce massive cell wall remodeling that change immune recognition and drug resistance. Read more in our new paper: www.cell.com/current-biol...

Video introduction to our new “Conformational Biasing” method for computational design of mutations that bias proteins towards desired conformational states CB part starts at 14:55 Thanks to Peter Cavanagh and Andrew Xue – amazing graduate students who co-led this work

OpenFE is ready for production! chemrxiv.org/engage/chemr... In collaboration with our industry partners, we ran benchmarking simulations of our hybrid-topology RBFE protocol on a large collection of both public and private protein-ligand binding datasets. #compchem

My team has roles available for scientific developers either as Technical Lead (more senior) or as part of the development of a Side Effect Resource. baoilleach.blogspot.com/2025/12/open... #chemsky #chemjobs #bionformatics #cheminformatics #datascience #techlead

Thank you, @maom.bsky.social, for surfacing the issue and to Chief Anderson for acting so quickly. We are an inclusive community that is committed to safety practices rooted in trust rather than suspicion. These signs communicate the opposite and it’s long past time for them to go. #a2council

In 2020, I started to run every street in Ann Arbor and noticed the Neighborhood Watch signs around town. I was curious and learned that they came out of the 1994 Crime Bill effort for "community policing", and are part of a deeply racist tradition that aims to exclude people that "don't belong".

💡Just presented our new paper at the @iccv.bsky.social BioImage Computing workshop: cubic: CUDA-accelerated 3D Bioimage Computing. We introduce a simple way to add GPU acceleration to scikit-image–based bioimage processing pipelines by swapping import statements. 🧵 1/6 #iccv2025

@bmoore-beth.bsky.social We are delighted to announce that Dr. Teresa O'Meara ‪was awarded the Henry Russel award at U-M. Our highest honor for an early-mid career faculty member for her outstanding research and teaching! @teresaomeara.bsky.social ‬ @umichmicroimmuno.bsky.social

I'm so excited to share a new preprint on exploring sequence, structure, and function relationships and how we can use evolutionary information to help us design new proteins that work in the native context of a cell www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

BREAKING: Harvard AAUP & the nat'l AAUP have jointly filed a lawsuit & TRO to block the Trump admin from demanding that Harvard restrict speech & undermine academic freedom or else lose $8.7 billion in federal funds. This action challenges the Trump admin's misuse of funds for coercion. Stay tuned.

For those curious about the impact of the 15% IDC rate, here's data on total NIH funding by institution: brimr.org/brimr-rankin... ... and here's a brief synopsis of hardest-hit: www.forbes.com/sites/michae...

My #Yale colleague Harlan Krumholz explains why the cuts to indirect costs are a disaster for biomedical research in the United States. Want to do something about it? I'll list those who have to hear from us below. Share, recruit friends and family to help. 1/ www.statnews.com/2025/02/08/n....

I just reached out to my senators about the NIH situation. If you need to find out how much impact NIH has in your state in terms of dollars in and their economic impact here's a link: www.unitedformedicalresearch.org/nih-in-your-...

@defendpublichealth.bsky.social, a new national coalition of more than 1500 public health experts, has led an effort to send >3500 letters to US Senators to oppose RFK Jr.’s nomination to HHS. Concerns include his unfounded beliefs about vaccines, raw milk and HIV. 1/ docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Fred Dietrich's sac genome update is artisanal bioinformatics 😙👌 "It is the opinion of the authors that it is time to raise the bar and that published evidence that a gene is real should be necessary to keep questionable open reading frames from being relegated to dubious." doi.org/10.1101/2023...
