@Joana_MPereira
@uporto and @embl Alumni. Previously at @MPI_for_DB, now at @biozentrum and soon @_VIB_AI. All views my own.
So thrilled for the new chapter at VIB.AI and @KU_Leuven ! Beyond excited to contribute to their mission by diving deeper into the mysteries of the protein universe, working together to unlock new biology. Looking forward to what’s ahead in beautiful Leuven🚀🔬
We're thrilled to announce @Joana_MPereira will join VIB.AI as group leader! Her pioneering research combines deep learning, network analysis, and bioinformatics to investigate protein diversity and evolution. 👉 lnkd.in/eemNRkm5 Welcome aboard, Joana!
📢 SAVE THE DATE! Join us for the [BC]² Basel #ComputationalBiology Conference 2025: "Bioinformatics Meets AI – Shaping the Future of Data-Driven Biology!" 🗓️ Main Conference: Sept 9-10, 2025 🧑🏫 Tutorials & Workshops: Sept 8, 2025 👉 Stay updated at bc2.ch
We are extremely happy to host Dr. @Joana_MPereira from @_VIB_AI next May 29th for a Severo Ochoa seminar at @BSC_CNS! "AI-Driven Insights into Novel Families and Functions Across the Protein Universe" You can attend online by registering here: tinyurl.com/ywuepw9r
Two new postdoc positions in Computational/Statistical Genomics and Statistical Population Genetics, respectively, at the University of Copenhagen: employment.ku.dk/all-vacancies/… employment.ku.dk/all-vacancies/… . Please help us advertise.
Excited to announce that @preinerin, @colemathis__ and I were awarded an @HFSP research grant! 🎉 If you are an experimentalist interested in studying protein histories as a graduate student in the Longo Lab @ELSI_origins, please get in touch.
Apply now for the prestigious and independent #BiozentrumPhDFellowships. Great science. Unique rotation-based selection of research group and other incentives. The summer call is open until May 18, 2025. bit.ly/4caiqqX @biozentrum @UniBasel_en
🚨 New PhD Opening ! 🚨 Leveraging Deep Learning-based bioinformatics for experimental structural biology Interested in working where structural bioinformatics meets X-ray crystallography? If so, this *fully-funded* PhD project could be for you! @LivUniISMIB Link in reply
All known living cells produce proteins from the same 20 coded amino acids. Now new research from Klára Hlouchová @science_charles aims to construct a bacterial strain relying on only 19! Discover 👉 europa.eu/!Q7nR77 🇪🇺#FrontierResearch #ERCCoG
Grateful to the Swedish Research Council (Vetenskapsrådet) for funding a 3 year project on antibiotic resistance & phages. If you're looking for a post-doc position in 2025, have a phagey background, & are interested in a wet/dry research combo then look out for an ad coming soon
We are hiring (resharing appreciated)! Given a few recent successful grant applications (I got my SNSF Starting Grant 🚀), we are extending the LIAC (@SchwallerGroup) team and have multiple openings (PhD/postdoc) for 2025. Are you interested in #AI4Science and machine learning…
It is starting, please follow Roland and me and others
A couple years ago I tried to get structural biology people to migrate to 🦋 by handing out invites which were in short supply. It worked for a bit but there wasn't much engagement there. Everything has changed in the last week. So please join us there.
Join CSSB! Our Protein Production and Sample Preparation and Characterization core facilities are looking for a technical assistant to develop cross -facility workflows. More information: lnkd.in/ezZXiDtV
🚀Big News! 🚀SIB will host the 25th European Conference on Computational Biology (eccb) in Geneva, Switzerland, from 31 Aug-4 Sept 26!🇨🇭 Save the date and stay tuned for more updates as we get ready for #eccb2026 @ECCBinfo @ISBSIB sib.swiss/news/geneva-to…
