EMBL and @UW researchers have developed NovoTags – AI-designed protein tags – that in future could help researchers combine fluorescence microscopy and cryo-ET, helping identify individual proteins inside cells. @steffen_kl More info👉 embl.org/news/science-t…

EMBL scientists and their collaborators have gained new insights into how the influenza A virus hijacks host cells by tracking molecular ‘handshakes’ inside the cell. The new findings could help to identify novel drug and vaccine targets in the future. embl.org/news/science-t…

👏 Congrats to EMBL Group Leader Gautam Dey on an ERC Proof of Concept Grant to develop a new way of selecting cells for more efficient and versatile evolutionary biology studies. bit.ly/3Rd3H9m @ERC_Research

Curious about how our scientists are using AI? Take a look: youtube.com/watch?v=jSpVEQ…

What if you could predict your chance of developing a disease years before symptoms appear? An AI model can estimate long-term disease risk for more than 1,000 medical conditions and could help inform how a person's health changes over time. #EMBL_AI
