BioEmu is now on @science.org ! The revised version includes an upgraded model and makes a lot of MD simulation data internally generated at MSR available to the public. This took a lot of firepower from us in the last two years.

Scalable emulation of protein equilibrium ensembles with generative deep learning
Following the sequence and structure revolutions, predicting functionally relevant protein structure changes at scale remains an outstanding challenge. We introduce BioEmu, a deep learning system that...

An incredible multidisciplinary team effort with my ex-colleagues at Microsoft Research AI for Science. Proud to be part of it!

With this publication, we hope we further cement the idea that deep generative models can go beyond static structure generation and towards capturing biologically relevant dynamics at scale.

BioEmu is a generative deep learning model for emulating protein equilibrium ensembles. It's already been open-sourced and used across the community to generate high-fidelity protein structural ensembles.

We're looking for curious, technically strong researchers who want to work on problems that matter. Background in ML, stats, or applied data science is ideal. Radiation oncology experience welcome, but not required.
April 21, 2025 at 4:05 PM
Having worked in both academic and industry labs, I’ve seen what each does best, and what they sometimes can’t.

With AIDA, we’re closing the loop between idea → data → model → clinical feedback → deployment — all under one roof.
April 21, 2025 at 4:05 PM
Our aim is to bridge the gap between the ambition of leading AI labs, the rigor of academic research, and the grounded reality of patient care.
April 21, 2025 at 4:05 PM
AIDA is a research group embedded directly within one of the world’s busiest cancer centers.

We work at the intersection of:
– Clinical data at scale
– Cutting-edge ML
– Daily oncology practice
