Otherworldly misty morning in Chisapani forest on a Marwari stallion in a dreamy photo that looks unreal. If equestrian paradise exists, it should look something like this.

A good heuristic question to ask of... pretty much everything is "ok, but where does the [new] information comes from?" I think/hope I get what they are doing here, because if it works it's going to be *really* useful. by @manuellecha.bsky.social @mmbronstein.bsky.social @iologjones.bsky.social

We are thrilled to share that an #AITHYRA - #EPFL Consortium has been selected as one of 17 recipients of the #Googleorg Impact Challenge: AI for Science! The team will work on "Beyond Serendipity: Using Generative AI to Decode Viral Hijacking for Rational Drug Design". goo.gle/gic-ai-science

Happy to share I've been named a 2026 #AI2050 Early Career Fellow by @SchmidtSciences. I’ll investigate generative models for molecules as part of a global cohort working to ensure AI benefits society by 2050.

Happy to share our preprint: "A Unified 3D Generative Model for Synthesizable Structure-Based Drug Design". Highlights, preprint, and code below: 🧵1/10

“I’m an ML researcher, but I don’t know biology.” “I’m a life scientist or chemist, but I don’t code.” At #AITHYRA neither is a barrier. In fact, bringing different perspectives together is exactly what we value most. PhD Call in AI for Biomedicine: phd.aithyra.at #PhDProgram #AI #LifeSciences

A good morning for playing “the stupidest, most obnoxious sport known to humanity” according to @theguardian.com (after having committed a “heavy act of high-street aggression,” that is, buying a coffee at Gail’s, ibid)

📢 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...
