New €94M research centre for protein design will open at the University of Copenhagen and be led by Dek Woolfson
Funded by the Novo Nordisk Foundation, the centre will operate across the Departments of Biology and & Drug Design and Pharmacology

Feeling the need to repost this.
Closing one of the world's three reference STI labs amid epidemic-level infections in the U.S. is a colossal failure.
This decision leaves us without crucial situational awareness, jeopardizing public health nationwide and globally.

Back by popular demand, I present PPI Prediction Challenge #2.
My claim: I AM SKEPTICAL COMPUTATIONAL APPROACHES CAN PREDICT WHETHER TWO PROTEINS INTERACT.
Someone prove me wrong (take two).

One week to apply for a wet-lab #postdoc in my lab. Project will include #protein-protein interactions, short linear motifs, phage display, bioinformatics and much more.
Women are under-represented at senior levels in #academia globally, & across all #science 🧪 disciplines, as shown by these "scissor-shaped curves" ✂️
So how can we ever achieve #gender #equality?
We discuss various strategies in this #Cell Commentary

Would love to be added! Thank you! 😊
Started creating a synthetic biology starter pack. Still missing many so reply here if I forgot you or someone else.
