Physics based methods are fundamental tools in drug design. They can be paired with generative AI to speed up drug discovery. In this article just accepted in JCTC, we introduce ANUBI, an automatic pipeline in drug discovery. See more at pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

@sama Very proudly showing how exact are her 5 fingers per hand :)

Paper publication day! Our latest work online now! cell.com/cell-reports-m… RAGE pathway in monocytes acts as SARS-CoV-2 receptor contributing to COVID-19 severity. Congratulations to all! @gtesta72 @matbonf @NicoloCaporale @Francesco_i0ri0 @ausavino @Cescoxonta

Happy #SocialMediaDay Follow us and become part of the XJTLU online community!

@connolly_s Just to be sure we were speaking about the same soup :D

@Cescoxonta Sssh we don’t want to spoil the story. I was being deliberately vague about who was poured on and by whom

I don’t want to spoil for anyone, but before I watch #silo tonight I need to know how far in the books they get to in Episode 10… so… thinks carefully… Do they have the scene from the book where someone ends up covered in tomato soup? Simple yes/no will suffice!

There is a correlation between excess deaths in a country during the pandemic years and that country economic indicators. medrxiv.org/content/10.110… Our latest collaboration work with @MLevitt_NP2013 and John Ioannidis, and my first article with @XJTLU affiliation.

@MLevitt_NP2013 @METRICStanford This article is of double important for me, as it is my first with @XJTLU affiliation.

John Ioannidis @METRICStanford & Francesco Zonta @Cescoxonta & I preprint “Variability in excess deaths across countries with different vulnerability during 2020-2023” medrxiv.org/content/10.110… High correlation (0.65) shows pre-existing conditions explain countries’ death levels.

“Estimates of COVID-19 deaths in Mainland China after abandoning zero COVID policy” John Ioannidis, Francesco Zonta & Michael Levitt peer reviewed & accepted in European Journal Clinical Investigation. Preprint pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36597526/ Levitt Lecture at dropbox.com/s/k9og03xc5sxz…

Covid panic perfectly explained. Thank you John Ioannidis!

Really pleased to announce our latest preprint on COVID-19 authored with John Ioannidis @METRICStanford & Francesco Zonta @Cescoxonta. Titled “Excess death estimates from multiverse analysis in 2009-2021” medrxiv.org/content/10.110… Hope people are interested enough to critique.

Thank you to @PloverHuan for all the work done in the last years and to @MLevitt_NP2013 for useful discussion and suggestions on our project! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Our article "Construction of a Deep Neural Network Energy Function for Protein Physics" is out in the latest issue of JCTC. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

DeepMind and EMBL-EBI have released the predicted structures of over 200 million proteins covering almost every organism that has had its genome sequenced. These are now openly available to the scientific community via the AlphaFold Database. embl.org/news/technolog…

@vijaypande @proteneer Found the new gift for my daughter!

@proteneer Better start them young. If you wait, Entropy only gets higher.

“Dad can you read me a book?”

First COVID-19 paper published in Environmental Research. doi.org/10.1016/j.envr… Co-authored with physicist Francesco Zonta @Cescoxonta & 434,000 times cited epidemiologist John Ioannidis. Improved by 4 deep constructive reviews, I am so proud of paper. Great to learn at 75.

biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Not only Ace2. Rage is also involved in Covid19 infection in cell lines that do not display the Ace2 receptor. Thanks to @Lab_AViola for including me in this exciting collaboration.

#RAGE is a novel receptor of SARS-CoV-2! Check out our new study in @biorxivpreprint showing single cell immune dysregulation in a longitudinal COVID-19 cohort, and the severity-associated activation of the RAGE pathway in monocytes. doi.org/10.1101/2022.0…  (1/n)

Happy to be release this preprint medrxiv.org/content/10.110… It involves a new collaboration with esteemed Stanford colleague Prof John Ioannidis as well as Prof Francesco Zonta, @Cescoxonta who has worked so hard on COVID-19 with me.
