Powering up for Day 2 of spatial omics hacking with our nice new VIB.AI coffee mugs #CoffeeToCode #SpatialOmics24 #FlandersAI

We celebrate the end of our three-day 🚀hackathon🚀 on spatial omics tools and methods in #Ghent #Belgium. A big thanks to all of the researchers across Europe. Check out our final slide deck and code! docs.google.com/presentation/d… github.com/saeyslab/VIB_H… #SpatialOmics24

Watch the #SpatialOmics24🎦pitch by Nikolai Hecker of the @steinaerts lab at VIB.AI. In it, he reveals the similarities between the bird and mammalian telencephalon using spatial #transcriptomics and #singlecell #multiomics-derived enhancer codes.

Our nanopore design paper is now published! We developed computational methods to design de novo pores with custom size, conductance and shape. We hope the technology will advance a range of sensing applications. VIB_StructuralBiologyBrussels VIB VIB.AI science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

🧐 Are you a gene expression profiler? Check out Nova-ST, the new open source transcriptomics platform by @steinaerts (VIB-KU Leuven Center for Brain & Disease Research, VIB.AI), published in Cell Reports Methods. vibbio.tech/3LTbHFZ #neuroscience #genetics

🧠 The human brain is remarkably complex, with billions of cells. New single-cell tools now allow us to study the brain one cell at a time... (And don't forget to check out our coming #BrainMosaic24 conference - early bird deadline 29/08!) 👉 vibbio.tech/3T5VhhL

We’re launching our new group leader call: 👉 4 open positions! We're recruiting both junior and senior profiles, who use and develop AI methods and mechanistic mathematical models to address fundamental questions in biology. vib.ai/en/opportuniti…

We are looking forward to the first edition of the VIB.AI symposium on Nov 20th, bringing together the local research community working at the intersection of AI and biology. vibconferences.be/events/vibai-s…

💻Join us on 6 December in Brussels for Research Software Engineers Day! Inspiring talks, collaborative discussions, & networking with fellow #RSEng await! Register now for #RSEng24 & help improve the standard of software used for scientific research. ▶ vibbio.tech/3TJnxqB

We're thrilled to announce Joana Pereira 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!

Thank you all 🤗 Also, don't forget that there are 4 (!) tenure-track group leader positions at VIB.AI (2 in Leuven and 2 in Ghent)! Join us in our mission to explore the biological unknowns through AI 😉 Call is open until 1st November 2024.

📢The future Pereira lab is hiring! We will start at VIB.AI in February 2025 and are looking for a postdoc to join and kick-start our team 🤓 If you want to leverage AI and large networks to explore and understand the protein universe 🌌, check below! jobs.vib.be/j/93314/postdo…

💻Want to share your work as a research software engineer? Join us at #RSEng24 on 6 Dec for a day of talks and knowledge-sharing with fellow #RSE. Let’s tackle challenges & celebrate the role of software in advancing science! 🗓️Abstract deadline: 25 Oct 📥vibbio.tech/48blUYM

🚨 Two weeks left to apply for our open Group Leader positions. If your expertise lies at the intersection of AI and biology, this is your opportunity to contribute to pioneering research in a highly collaborative and international environment. All info: vib.ai

Last week we celebrated moving into our brand-new lab space in ON6! 🥳 There are still some boxes to be unpacked, but we look forward to doing some amazing science here. PS: We're still hiring... vib.ai/en/opportuniti…

Final call! 📢 If you're looking to advance your research at the forefront of AI and biology, please consider joining us at VIB.AI! 📅 Application Deadline: November 1st vib.ai/en/opportuniti…

In just two weeks, we’re gathering an exceptional community of researchers and innovators at the intersection of AI and life sciences in Mechelen for our inaugural symposium. We are grateful to our sponsors: ✨ ICOSA ✨ Johnson & Johnson Innovative Medicine See you soon!

We had a fantastic day today at the inaugural #VIBAIsymposium. For more pictures, and for updates on the adventures ahead 👉 be sure to follow us on bluesky bsky.app/profile/vibai.…
