Introducing ATOMICA 💫 A model to universally represent molecular interactions (for proteins, nucleic acids, small molecules, and ions) at an all-atom scale 🧵

NEW: We love a good ideation competition, and this is on a question that @tkalil2050 loves asking researchers: “what is your dream AI dataset that, if it existed, could underpin a technical breakthrough like AlphaFold.” Details:
Data is everything. We need more data to unlock the next scientific breakthroughs with AI. Here’s how we’re addressing this at NeurIPS. With a $10,000 prize pool to get it started. 🧵 @NeurIPSConf @AI_for_Science @RenPhil21 #NeurIPS2025
🌍 Excited to open up our global evaluation of AI for drug decision-making and therapeutic reasoning @GaoShanghua Want to shape the future of therapeutic AI, from understanding existing medicines to developing new treatments for diseases with limited options? Start here:…
Taking ATOMICA to the wetlab has been a lot of fun! Excited to announce in our updated preprint we validate predicted dark proteome binders to heme 🧪🧬 Thanks to Michael Desgagné, Bradley L. Pentelute, and Joseph Loscalzo!
Trained on 2M+ interaction complexes, ATOMICA learns atomic-to-molecular embeddings of interaction interfaces @AdaFang_ In the latest preprint: 🎯 Wetlab tests of AI predictions: Experimental validation confirms heme binding for 5 ATOMICA-predicted sites in uncharacterized…

Swapped the peace and quiet of Boston for the hustle and bustle of NYC🗽 I’m spending my summer at @PrescientDesign @genentech working on antibody design methods with AI 🧬 If you’re in NYC and want to chat about AI x biology feel free to DM me!

New in the Kempner's Deeper Learning blog: @AdaFang_ and @marinkazitnik introduce ATOMICA, a geometric foundation model that enables reasoning about biological systems with atom-level precision. bit.ly/KempnerATOMICA #AI #ML #MedTech
