The Biomolecular Design and Prediction Interest Group at Aarhus University is open to anyone interested in de novo protein design, structure prediction, and the use of LLM, ML, and AI in biomolecular research. We aim to build a cross-departmental network to create connections, collaborations, and shared learning among researchers with similar interests.

Who Should Join?

Anyone at Aarhus University interested in biomolecular design and structure prediction is welcome to join. We encourage participation from all research levels, with opportunities for active involvement through informal project or method talks (this is not a journal club). We will also organize relevant online or in-person talks on current topics whenever possible.

Meetings

Currently, we do not have a fixed schedule. We want to gauge the general interest and the willingness of participants to actively contribute before deciding on the format. Initially, meetings will be held at the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics, but this is subject to change.

Topics of Interest

Topics can range from protein binder design, structure prediction of complexes, and de novo protein design with specific functions, to any other area that falls within our focus. Talks can cover ongoing research projects, recent advances, or other areas of interest.
