Great work by my former PhD student and PD, @ArtsMarloes! Good things come to those who wait :)

[Marloes Arts @ArtsMarloes]

🐛➡️🦋 The first project I worked on during my PhD got published in @TmlrPub! It started off as a protein folding method and ended up as a neat way to incorporate 3D constraints into internal-coordinate modeling of protein ensembles. [1/6]

Do you like machine learning, proteins and Copenhagen? Check out our open PhD position: https://t.co/THKBz3IoBD. Deadline Jan 22. Please RT.

[Wouter Boomsma @WouterBoomsmaDK]

@MorseCell Yes. Absolutely! :)

Actually, the name of the paper was originally “What is a meaningful representation of protein sequences?”, originating as a poster at the first LMRL as a bit of a pun on the name of the workshop :)
…but then the editors at Nat Com insisted we change it.

Thanks to @novonordiskfond, @VILLUMFONDEN, @ERC_Research and @nvidia for supporting this work. 5/5

I'm very happy to share our work on representation learning of protein sequences, just out in @NatureComms.

This was a joint project with Nicki Skafte Detlefsen and Søren Hauberg through the #MLLS center (https://t.co/FD2x6tolYt). 1/5

This effect is quite striking when doing latent space interpolation, where we get much richer interpolants when following geodesics. 4/5

@ArtsMarloes did a wonderful job creating a new website for our group. Thanks!

[BioML @KU_BioML]

Hi everyone! We are the BioML group (https://t.co/yq41WlEJfp), led by @WouterBoomsmaDK and located at @DIKU_Institut @uni_copenhagen. We apply #ML techniques to biological problems and are particularly interested in the link between protein sequence, structure and function.

[Wouter Boomsma @WouterBoomsmaDK]

Interested in doing a PhD with me @uni_copenhagen on #machinelearning for improving our understanding of #proteins? Open PhD call https://t.co/2DxsbQXFoG. Get in touch if you would like to apply (and meet the eligibility requirements). Deadline Feb 13.

Some thoughts on @DeepMindAI’s entry in #CASP13, after being there and chatting with the AlphaFold team and many others: https://t.co/P3adrT2lQ9. Warning: long, technical (in parts), and vicious! (but not toward DM :-) @LindorffLarsen @david_koes @TorstenSchwede @sokrypton
