In three new studies, researchers at Broad Institute & Harvard University discover ways in which proteins are involved in common cancer processes found in many cancer types. 💡 These studies may help find new cancer drug targets and predict treatment responses! 🔗 bit.ly/3QLLyMW

Our work predicting multiple conformations by combining sequence clustering and AlphaFold2 is in press at nature! Thrilled to get to share - now includes experimental validation for several tests of AF-Cluster, led by the incredible Adedolapo M. Ojoawo! go.nature.com/49uCNxU

🤩 Exciting to see this out! (PS, Hannah Wayment-Steele is applying for Asst. Prof. positions this year! Don't miss this opportunity to recruit a brilliant scientist, working on the next BIG unsolved problem of protein dynamics 🤓)

The MIT EECS Graduate Application Assistance Program is open for applications! Our team of PhD students offers 1-on-1 mentorship and office hours to EE/CS graduate school applicants (to any school, not just MIT) from around the world. Deadline: 10/15/24. eecs-gaap.mit.edu

Excited to re-share work from Yo Akiyama and Zhidian Zhang on MSA pairformer.

Yo Akiyama Zhidian Zhang While working on the Google Colab notebook for MSA pairformer. We encountered a problem: The MMseqs2 ColabFold MSA did not show any contacts at protein interfaces, while our old HHblits alignments showed clear contacts🫥... (1/3)
