Absolutely mind-blowing, I can’t wait to read it! I have always considered the immune system the most powerful in the body, but it’s still surprising to see the interplay between the cGAS pathway and aging.

Crazy but true: This is a real image captured by the Cassini spacecraft.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) causes over a million deaths each year, and is rising.

Scientists analysed 40,000 bacterial plasmids across 100 years and six continents, to reveal that a few plasmids evolved after antibiotic use to drive most multi-drug resistance.

With this, the last bit of my PhD at @embl.org is finally out!
We developed salad (sparse all-atom denoising), a family of blazing fast protein structure diffusion models.
Paper: nature.com/articles/s42256-…
Code: github.com/mjendrusch/salad
Data: zenodo.org/records/14711580

‘Salad’ – a new AI model from EMBL scientists – offers major improvements in synthetic protein design.

Salad is significantly faster than comparable methods, and designing proteins that don't exist in nature can have applications in many scientific fields.

Drafted the thesis 💃🎉, so hopefully 🤞 I’ll have time to clean the apartment and go to the gym 😅.

Great time at The New Microbiology @embo.org | FEBS course at Spetses! 🇬🇷

Truly thankful to attend and meet amazing researchers that shared their great stories and advice!

One of the best courses I have ever participated! 😄

Lots of new insights, connections, and inspiration! 🦠 🧬

Thanks @AMI 🙏

What if your sore joints could treat themselves? 🦴

Cambridge scientists have developed an ‘artificial cartilage’ that could transform treatment for #arthritis – and improve outcomes for millions of people.
