Congrats to @jwanner.bsky.social
I'm setting up my lab at @hpi.bsky.social, on the edge of vibrant Berlin! PhD/postdoc positions in AI for safe synthetic biology & infectious diseases (AMR), in collab with @melanianowicka.bsky.social.
Apply by Feb 24: email firstname.lastname@hpi.de with “[Open-25]” in the subject. DM for details!
We’re excited to share that our paper on rapid molecular classification of brain tumors has just been published in Nature Medicine!
Check out this great talk by @franriss.bsky.social (PhD student in my lab) on "Comparing protein language models through embedding space comparison" in the famous MIA meeting. Thanks so much to Sumaiya Iqbal for co-supervising and hosting her at @broadinstitute.org
