I am over the moon that this work is finally out! It has been such a fantastic project to work on! Check out my first (sole) 1st author paper in PNAS now! 👇
I wrote a piece for this issue of Microbiology Today! I got to reflect on the rise of AI and what we need to consider going forward 🖥️ You can check it out here 👇
In The Promise and Perils of Generative AI article, @chelseabrowncg discusses AI's benefits and pitfalls. Brown also warns that while AI helps with understanding biological data, it can be biased and potentially harmful - microb.io/45h3Jj8 #MicrobiologyToday
Great to see this review paper out! 🥳 I had a lot of fun helping with this, the first paper from my time here in Groningen! Check it out here 👇
Why not include the rest of the cell in your next membrane simulation ? Check our current opinion on "Modeling membranes in situ" sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Nice work from Chelsea Brown: she used integrative modelling to build and simulate a mitochondrial cristae (rdcu.be/eujAC).
i’m hiring! come work with our amazing neuralplexer development team to help increase the conformational accuracy of our protein structure predictions! jobs.ashbyhq.com/iambic-therape…
Finally got around to setting up a 🦋 account! See you over there @chelseabrown.bsky.social
BREAKING NEWS The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2024 #NobelPrize in Chemistry with one half to David Baker “for computational protein design” and the other half jointly to Demis Hassabis and John M. Jumper “for protein structure prediction.”
Various PhD/post-doc positions available to work on synthetic cells, including purely computational projects in our group ! nature.com/naturecareers/…
We have a 2+ years EU funded postdoc position with @pierrepo based in Paris to extend this project. Position can start beginning of 2025. Answer to this tweet if interested or contact me or @pierrepo
Our MDverse paper is now published in its final form in @eLife ! 🥳 It was a great collab & lot of fun to work with @pierrepo and @j0kaso 🙏 @eriklindahl , @LindorffLarsen , @DelemotteLab , @baam93 and co! doi.org/10.7554/eLife.…
Super excited to share our latest work on the native in-cell organization of the mitochondrial respiratory chain 🥳 Using cryo-electron tomography🔬, we show how the respiratory complexes (and other complexes) are organized inside native mitochondria! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
We are proud sponsors together with @cecamEvents of the Biomolecular Simulations at the Mesoscale workshop in beautiful Trento. Look out for the short perspective that we will produce soon!
Well, graduation was a blast!!! What a joy to put on the floppy hat. A wonderful day surrounded by wonderful people, thanks to everyone who made it possible And over the moon to share that I received the facility thesis prize as well 🎉🎉🥳🥳🥳



You can no fly through our cell model on a poster 🤯 Amazing renders of our cell model!!
Presenting @VTX_mol at the Strasbourg summer school of Chemoinformatics @SFCi_fr with our augmented poster thanks to #schol_ar @M2d2Team @MaximeMARIA @LeCnam @gemellyn @sguionni
New preprint from a nice collaboration between the @IpbsToulouse Integrative Biological NMR team and my lab ( LMGM @CbiToulouse ): "Coarse-graining the recognition of a glycolipid by the C-type lectin Mincle receptor " spearheaded by @noriegamaxime biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
We have also launched AlphaFold Server, a free platform that scientists around the world can use for non-commercial research. 🔬 They can harness AlphaFold 3’s predictions and test hypotheses with just a few clicks - no matter their technical expertise. →…
I am proud to present our work “GōMartini 3: From large conformational changes in proteins to environmental bias corrections”. Take a look in the @biorxivpreprint here: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Happy to share that the work of @cristianrocha94 and @DazhiLi6 on protein insertases as lipid scramblases (see thread below) is now out in PNAS @PNASNews in peer-reviewed form! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…
Let’s start the week in style: just out in Biorxiv one of the most important results from my lab, with the Reinisch lab @YaleMed: “Lipid scrambling is a general feature of protein insertases”. The title pretty much sums it up. Short 🧵(1/13). biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Single-molecule optical tweezers reveal salt dependence of the interdomain interactions in a membrane transporter OpuA in nanodiscs Congratulations to @lyanvdsleen and all the authors! @JanAdStevens @CG_Martini @BiophysK 👏@MembraneEnzymo1 @CellReports: doi.org/10.1016/j.celr…
Fresh online: an extensive tutorial chapter on how to build and simulate complex membranes with Martini 3. Many examples, from simple bilayers to realistic multi-component membranes and curved systems. Free download until end of May. authors.elsevier.com/a/1iuzfHRzCT-Yo
Thrilled to be a travel award winner at #BPS2024, enjoying the excellent science and exploring the city. Come and see my poster on Tuesday 1:45pm at board B235 - “The bacterial cytoskeleton alters the cell membrane in molecular dynamics simulations”
I have an open PhD position. If you are looking for a biomoldeing PhD position, this is for you. candidate.hr-manager.net/ApplicationIni…
