AI speeds up drug design for Parkinson’s by ten-fold: Researchers have harnessed the power of artificial intelligence to revolutionise the search for treatments. Vendruscolo Lab #Chemistry #Parkinsons #AI ch.cam.ac.uk/news/ai-speeds…


The King’s Entrepreneurship Lab is delighted to announce the second edition of our Entrepreneurship Essay Competition! The winner will receive a cash prize of £1,000, with two £500 runners-up prizes. Please share this with any students/schools you know. More details: kingselab.org/essay-competit…


Researchers from the Cambridge University leverage AI to identify new therapeutic pathways for Parkinson's treatment. This breakthrough offers hope for millions, potentially speeding up the development of effective treatments for Parkinson. Details ⬇️ dailyai.com/2024/04/scient… #AI

Please share with anyone you know who might be eligible (typically 16/17yr olds studying at UK school)! King’s Entrepreneurship Lab

Our new Chemical Science paper on the mechanisms of lipid-protein co-aggregation is out! pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art… Very excited to share this work I led at WaveBreak Therapeutics.

🎯Excited to share a new article about our #Twin4Promis partner, Michele Vendruscolo and his incredible team Vendruscolo Lab from the Cambridge Chemistry ! 🌟 Learn more about their pioneering work in protein folding here: rb.gy/s2z0r1

Was great to present my first year report to the Econ Policy Group at Cambridge Judge. Got lots of very useful feedback, thanks to Christos Genakos Paul Kattuman Kamiar Mohaddes, Michael Pollitt and others, and am looking forward to exploring the topic further!


💫Congrats to PhD candidate Rhys Williams at #CambridgeJudge - Rhys got his solo-authored paper on fixed book pricing published in the Journal of Competition Law and Economics, and it's now one of the "most read." loom.ly/PyNCXDE #economics #publishing Rhys Williams


In many systems, toxic protein oligomers are produced by nucleation on existing fibrils, but how are they removed? We show that fibrils also effectively catalyse oligomer dissociation, with interesting implications for drug discovery in ACSChemNeurosci doi.org/10.1021/acsche…


Very honoured to have received the Provost's Prize from Gillian Tett at King's College, Cambridge for having "gone above and beyond the call of duty in College"! News-story: kings.cam.ac.uk/news/2024/four…


Very excited to share our work in Nature Communications! We show that a-synuclein oligomers and fibrils form by secondary nucleation on existing fibril surfaces nature.com/articles/s4146…



🔥Very excited to see our work just published in Science Advances! doi.org/10.1126/sciadv… "Transient interactions between the fuzzy coat and the cross-β core of brain-derived Aβ42 filaments". Grateful for the collaboration with Faidon Brotzakis, Michele Vendruscolo, Vendruscolo Lab.
