🧵 1/ Announcing AMP Challenge! AMR is one of the biggest challenges in medicine, and antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are a promising way to fight back. If you build AI models for biological sequences, AMP Challenge gives you a test: selected peptides will be synthesized and tested for free. 🧬🚀

Our lab has a brand new website! Visit us at ewaszczureklab.mimuw.edu.pl to learn about our research, team, jobs, news, contacts, software and publications :)

📄 Our new paper: "Synergistic Benefits of Joint Molecule Generation and Property Prediction" has been published in TMLR! We propose Hyformer, a transformer with shared parameters and alternating causal / bidirectional attention that handles molecule generation and property prediction jointly.

Last-minute call for applications! 🚨 🔹 Principal Investigator (PI) positions in Health AI 🗓 Deadline: January 11 👉 jobs.helmholtz-muenchen.de/jobposting/8... 🔹 Clinical Consultants (bridging clinical practice & AI innovation) 🗓 Deadline: January 11 👉 jobs.helmholtz-muenchen.de/jobposting/c...

New preprint: Cross-View Latent Integration via Nonparametric Gamma Shrinkage Factor Analysis. We introduce a fully Bayesian, unsupervised multi-view factor model that automatically learns the number of factors, handles heterogeneous noise, and yields sparse, interpretable loadings.

🚀 Excited to share our latest collaboration with Ewa Szczurek’s lab (@ewaszczurek.bsky.social) et al. in Genome Biology! 🧬 DelSIEVE: single-cell phylogeny from SNVs & indels 🧬 👉 rdcu.be/eCnL3 Big thanks to Senbai and Ewa for leading this project, and to all collaborators who made it possible! 🙌

First of two stays completed ! @bayfor.org @www.helmholtz-munich.de www.linkedin.com/posts/mathie...

Last days to register! Come and join us at the Symposium!

If you have not done so yet, send your abstract today to the Helmholtz Munich AI for Health Symposium 2025 on Generative AI in Molecule Discovery! events.hifis.net/event/2015/

Thrilled to share new paper on FACTM, our Factor Analysis with Correlated Topic Model for Multi-Modal Data, accepted at AISTATS, 2025! arxiv.org/pdf/2504.18914 if you are at the conference, come to talk to Malgorzata Lazecka at her poster!

I will be chairing and presenting at the ED45 - How to Measure Cancer Evolution session at @AACR25 today. We've got great speakers, @nlbigas.bsky.social and @jeffreytownsend.bsky.social :) Come and attend the session if you are there! Would love to connect.

Two PhD positions in our lab at the University of Warsaw! We are looking for computer scientists, mathematicians or physicists, with experience in ML and AI, to join our team!

Postdoc positions in our lab at Helmholtz Munich: jobs.helmholtz-muenchen.de/jobposting/9... Wonderful opportunities to develop novel AI methods with applications in computational biology and medicine! Please share or apply :)

At the Antimicrobial peptides GRC Conference in beautiful Ventura, California. Thanks to Delphine Destoumieux-Garzón and Gerard Wood for the invitation and the opportunity to talk about Generative AI for antimicrobial peptide discovery! With @szymczakpau.bsky.social, her poster and amazing sunset:)

Very proud to share that Kazik Oksza-Orzechowski, a PhD candidate in our lab was awarded the NCN National Science Centre Preludium grant for his Cell-MAGIC project! Kazik will attempt to infer clonal structure and genotypes of follicular lymphoma cells from scRNA-seq and scBCR-seq data.
