After years of struggle to prove a computer-inspired crazy insight - the idea that missense mutations and deletions could be, actually, equivalent - and involving up to 13 people from three continents, here it is: medicalxpress.com/news/2019-04-m…

"What we observe is not nature itself, but nature exposed to our method of questioning." -Werner Heisenberg

The book that got me totally hooked on science. I bought it with my savings when I was 11 to learn about the space. As an unexpected bonus, it also ignited my interest in molecular biology. Carl Sagan had greatest impact on me than my troubled family. Legendary.

We are hiring! Are you a postdoctoral researcher, with strong expertise in biomolecular modelling and MD ?We have a position funded by KI Research Incubator to join a interdisciplinary project between our lab and a clinical genetics team. Apply here: lnkd.in/dCWgtvje

@martinmbauer This is exactly what is done too often in biomedical research, over and over again. They have cured cancer so many times...

A scientist, in particular in medicine, should know better than uncritically enhancing the claims of a single study

5th Manchester Multiscale Conference with @CCP5UK 3-5 April 2023 Registration now open! ➡️ccpbiosim.ac.uk/multiscale2023 #CompChem #CompBio #ManchesterMultiscale @TreeEggs @CecClementi @rcollepardo @structure_geek @orozco_lab @matteoslvlgl

👀 Sneak a peek at the deepest & sharpest infrared image of the early universe ever taken — all in a day’s work for the Webb telescope. (Literally, capturing it took less than a day!) This is Webb’s first image released as we begin to #UnfoldTheUniverse: nasa.gov/webbfirstimage…

@ANoyLab @YSBL_York @LaurenceGWilson It was truly a pleasure, reading and discussing with Nettie and also @LaurenceGWilson such an interesting work. Loved the historical citations, going back to the greek atomists. Big congratulations, Agnes & Nettie !!!

Ecstatic and very proud of Nettie Alevropoulus-Borrill #NotOnTwitter, who defended successfully her thesis! Excellent work on DNA-processing protein motors in collaboration with Fred Antson @YSBL_York. Thanks to @structure_geek and @LaurenceGWilson for the interesting viva!!

Our project on #BrainCancer mutations in #EGFR and novel house-keeping targets received funding from @Cancerfonden. Incredibly grateful to #cancerfonden donors, even more as this year I was also honored to receive CF Junior Investigator Award. Thank you! #tillsammansmotcancer

Really thankful for the Vetenskapsrådet Starting Grant in Medicine. What a year!

Fine tuned Alphafold model for protein interaction predictions. We knew it was coming but that was still quite fast. Excited to give this a try. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

A new #WomenMakeCOMP symposium will be held VIRTUALLY at the Fall 2021 ACS Meeting! If you are a young woman in #compchem apply to present your research & meet the leaders in our field! Submit your abstract before April 12: callforabstracts.acs.org/acsfall2021/CO… #WomenInSTEM pls RETWEET

Wow -- faculty are 25 times more likely to have a parent with a PhD. Almost 50 times more likely in "prestigious universities"

Thanks also to OnkPat and @LarsMHolmgren for their support!

Still cannot believe I have obtained the Cancerfonden Junior Investigator Award! Immensely grateful to @Cancerfonden for believing in an ambitious project trying to connect the apparently distant worlds of biomolecular simulations and cancer research. cancerfonden.se/nyhet/vi-finan…

Really gratifying when simulations rationalize biochemistry! A trimeric enzyme where only one of the three binding sites is active at a time, thanks to a complex unfolding mechanism revealed by MD. Proud to be part of this collaborative work with the Haeggström´s Lab. & Madhu!

We often define our time as the era of information technology. But the amazing #Antikythera mechanism shows the evolution of computing is much older, as suggested by Price in 1951. A new study offers a 3-D reconstruction of the astronomical calculator: nature.com/articles/s4159…

@AceBeaty The only real biological engineering out there, and the one I am talking about, is the one done by Nature, not us.
