Using CryoEM to study viruses
Duke-NUS is hiring professors at all ranks! careers.nus.edu.sg/job/Assistant-…
We are looking for a PhD student/Postdoc to develop methods of cryo-ET and/or study the structure and function of membrane proteins. Great team at the MDC in Berlin. It's a broad call, please apply and share! jobrxiv.org/job/max-delbru…
Want to attend the HCV-Flavi symposium and also to visit the beautiful Singapore? #flavivirus #dengue #zika #arbovirus hcv-flavi2025.org
Excited to share PoET-2, our next breakthrough in protein language modeling. It represents a fundamental shift in how AI learns from evolutionary sequences. 🧵 1/13
20 jobs that OpenAI o3 CANNOT replace human, according to Deep Research
1) Since there is a lot of confusion about the reduction of the overhead rate on NIH grants to 15% (see here: grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/n…) I'll do a little tweetorial (or X-torial?) about it.
Save the date for #HCVFlavi2025, a joint Asia-Pacific meeting to be held October 13-16, 2025 in Singapore @dukenus! More info to come!
Brain-gut-pancreas axis uncovered! 🧠➡️💡| @ScienceMagazine Neuron-activated #ILC2s migrate from the gut to the pancreas, driving glucagon production through cytokine signaling. A groundbreaking link between #neuroimmune pathways & glucose regulation! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
