Everything you need for AI in Proteins, updated for 2025! 1/🧵 We've expanded our comprehensive AI protein design guide to include all the cutting edge tools on the rise this year. Some highlights:

Excited to announce the release of our open-source protein family language model, ProFam-1, designed to generate functional protein variants and predict fitness using in-context example sequences. 1/n

Check out our latest review, awesome work from Javier Orozco😊, Congratulations 🎊🎉 TH9 cells and interleukin-9 in parasitic infections: Updates, opportun... sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Proud of my student Diego - now a 2025 Google PhD Fellow! Together we are studying how Protein Large Language Models can design new enzymes. Congratulations, Diego, well deserved! 💙💜🎉🔬🦠

¡Qué gran evento y qué gran equipazo! Las proteínas siempre presentes. :)

¡Nos vemos en Synapsia! Estaremos en San Ildelfonso en el Centro Histórico hablando de Redes Neuronales, IA... y, obviamente, de proteínas. 🎉⭐🦠🧬🔬

Pásenle a leer una columna que escribimos junto con @Dr_Alfredo_ sobre Diseño de Proteínas y las oportunidades que tenemos en este campo actualmente. ⭐🧬🔬 Además, la ilustración es por el talentoso de @galen_espinosa

El próximo martes 6 de mayo, el Instituto rendirá homenaje a nuestra investigadora emérita, la Dra. Herminia Pasantes.

Today we celebrated the International Day of Immunology and the opening of the Genetic Editing and cryopreservation Unit @IFC_UNAM , a project that has been in development for several years and is now finally coming to fruition. Many thanks to everyone who made this happen❤️

Thrilled to share that my former student, Alex Braun, has been awarded the Rainer Rudolph Prize 2024 for his master's thesis on designing artificial enzymes with language models! Immensely proud of him. A toast all the way from Mexico! 🎉👏🌟 Preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

How does collagen fold? Very carefully! (And with some help from electrostatics.) Our latest collaborative study uncovers mechanisms where interchain electrostatic interactions act as molecular clamps to promote proper folding. Check it out! 🎉🌟🧬🧫 nature.com/articles/s4146…

Scientists have long known that histones spool DNA and help regulate genes. They may be doing a lot more. asbmb.org/asbmb-today/sc…

@LabLiconaP Congratulations again, Paula! You're a great mentor and a wonderful colleague. For 10 more years with amazing students and happy mice. ;)

This week my lab celebrated its 10th anniversary🎂👩🏽‍🔬👨🏼‍🔬🦠🧪💉🧫🎉🎊🎈. So grateful and proud for the students and colleagues I have worked with. Thank you all for the fantastic work you do every day 🥰🙏

Thrilled to share our latest publication in Nature: nature.com/articles/s4158…. This work reflects a fantastic collaboration—special thanks to David Baker and @TimothyPJenkins. Hoping it sparks attention to this neglected health issue and drives solutions in the years ahead!

Before the Mezcal flows, let me first wish you a Happy New Year! 🥂🍾🎉🪅🎊 Cheers to a year of joy, success, folded proteins, soluble & functional designs, bug-free code, and exciting protein adventures! May 2025 be amazing! 🧡❤️

Paper alert!! So happy to see this findings out from the lab 🤗Congratulations @kari_jacome and all other authors!! Chromatin accessibility classification of TAD boundaries discloses new architectural proteins biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Next week at @IFC_UNAM !!!!!! @LabLiconaP @UNAMPosgrado
