NextGenBiocat

Introducing our invited speakers: Noelia Ferruz Noelia Ferruz is group leader of the AI for Protein Design team at CRG in Barcelona; combining generative AI, explainable models, and lab validation to create functional proteins for medicine, sustainability, and biotechnology.

Abstract submission for NextGenBiocat is open! nextgenbiocat.org/abstracts-subm… Are you a young researcher working in Biocatalysis or related fields? Join us in Munich on 10-11 June for 2 days full of enzymes and networking, followed by the BiodeCCodiNNg satellite symposium on 12 June.

New article about NextGenBiocat in FEBS: network.febs.org/posts/nextgenb… The registration for the next iteration of NextGenBiocat will open soon, stay tuned!

Thank you to all of you! @BiocatLabPolimi @NextGenBiocat
