Looking forward welcoming next week all the participants of the CECAM workshop organized with @sonyahanson.bsky.social , Celia Plisson-Chastang, and @bonomimax.bsky.social at the Museum of Toulouse
Full program: www.cecam.org/workshop-det...
๐ฃ Excited to co-organize this @embo.org Lecture Course - #AI driven approaches in structural biology ๐ 26 April - 2 May 2026 in Bengalore (India). More info and registration below @pasteur.fr @cnrsbiologie.bsky.social meetings.embo.org/event/26-ai-...
and for refining AF2 models for small molecules virtual screenings www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
This work follows our previous exploration of AF2 distograms for generating accurate, atomistic ensembles of Intrinsically Disordered Proteins www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
โจ New preprint by Nicolas Portal in collaboration with @vincentmallet.bsky.social ๐ We incorporate AF2 distograms in #ML protein representations for prediction of ligand binding sites & affinity + protein stability + various RNA properties @pasteur.fr @erc.europa.eu www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
Amazing opportunity!
Donโt miss this opportunity to work with a fantastic mentor, a great team, in a beautiful city of France!
A new tutorial manuscript is out! ๐ Making @plumed.org fly: a tutorial on optimizing performance, by Daniele Rapetti, @bonomimax.bsky.social @carlocamilloni.bsky.social @bussigio.bsky.social and Gareth Tribello. arxiv.org/abs/2511.02699
See you in Toulouse for this exciting @cecamevents.bsky.social workshop! #cryoEM #cryoET #AI #modeling
Our work developing a maximum entropy reweighting method to refine all-atom ensembles of IDPs with extensive NMR and SAXS datasets is now out in @natcomms.nature.com:
rdcu.be/eKlK7
Led by @dartmouthchem.bsky.social graduate student Kaushilk Borthakur in collaboration with @bonomimax.bsky.social
Yep I think this also is feasible!
Ahah I thought you were commenting on the other bioRxiv. My fault. In any case, the answer is yes!
Yes, if some low res density is actually there. Same for semi-ordered waters, lipids or glycans ๐
โ๏ธ Even high-resolution #cryoEM maps can still hide a few secrets ๐ Discover how we uncover them in this exciting collaboration with @egreene.bsky.social @fraserlab.com @pasteur.fr @cnrsbiologie.bsky.social

AlphaFoldโs success builds on decades of tech advances, massive efforts to collect, curate, and share structural data, and rigorous benchmarking. What will it take to see a similar leap in structural ensemble prediction? @stephanieaw.bsky.social and I share some thoughts here ๐ Feedback is welcome!
Last session is about "Ethics and AI", with a fantastic lecture from Julie Allouche @pasteur.fr and Pierre Noro @pierrenoro.bsky.social @sciencespo.bsky.social
Next is technical challenges related to developing/using AI with Youssef Ghorbal and Thomas Menard
Last day of our "AI for Life Sciences" course @pasteuredu.bsky.social This morning we talk about Intellectual Property & AI with Nicolas Torno and Helene Chommy from DARRI @pasteur.fr
Final thematic session of our "AI for Life Sciences" is "AI in Neuroscience" with Jean-Baptiste Masson @pasteur.fr
@pasteuredu.bsky.social
It is now time for "AI in Structural Biology" with Guillaume Bouvier: AlphaFold and beyond! Short talks by @bardiauxb.bsky.social Ludovic Sauguet Vincent Schnapka and @duyvd.bsky.social @pasteur.fr @pasteuredu.bsky.social
AI for life sciences day 2 started!
@m-albert.bsky.social is now teaching AI for image analysis. Felipe Llinares from Bioptimus will then talk about LLMs, with short talks from @jkobject.com from my team and @emordret.bsky.social from @audeber.bsky.social team.
@pasteur.fr @pasteuredu.bsky.social
We are back with our "AI for life sciences" course @pasteur.fr @pasteuredu.bsky.social with a deep dive into Neural Networks with @vincentmallet.bsky.social
๐ขHere WE go!!! AI for life sciences course kicking off at @pasteur.fr with a lecture from @laineelodie.bsky.social.
Happy to see so many students on campus interested in AI!
