Joan as a Guest on the Webinar COZYME
Don’t miss the upcoming COZYME Webinar on the topic of “Computationally Assisted Design of Enzymes,” hosted by Sergio Marques! Join us on March 20, 2025, at 16:00 (CET), where the postdoc Joan Planas-Iglesias will showcase LoopGrafter, a novel web tool for protein engineering. This innovative tool allows for the transfer of dynamic loops from one […]
Jonathan’s Research Internship
Loschmidt Labs recently had the pleasure of hosting Jonathan Besna from the Université de Montréal for two months. During his time here, he dove into machine-learning methods under the supervision of Stanislav Mazurenko and Jiri Damborsky. Jonathan shared his thoughts as his stay draws to a close: “I’m wrapping up my time here and can’t […]
LL Participated in CzecHopes Conference
Loschmidt Laboratories participated in the CzecHopes conference for high school students in mid-February!During our workshop on Customized Proteins with AI, students explored the process of protein creation — from gene sequencing to selecting the optimal variant. They even got hands-on experience by cultivating their bacteria on agar plates and exploring the fascinating world of bioluminescence. […]
Pavel to Lead a Session During V4SDB Meeting
Our doctoral student, Pavel Kohout, has been invited to lead a session at a student workshop during the V4SDB Meeting 2025! He’ll be presenting on AlphaFold, covering the machine learning principles behind this powerful tool, as well as its applications, potential, and limitations. Congrats, Pavel!
