Are you a PhD student in Chemistry & want to 👉Gain insights into drug discovery & development 👉Discuss your research with experts 👉Get a behind-the-scenes look at our research facilities Travel & accommodation will be covered. Apply at jobs.boehringer-ingelheim.com/job/Biberach... #ChemSky

Join us in Vienna on Sep 8-10 with an incredible speaker lineup!

Next week we will be at ICLR in Singapore, presenting 8 papers in the main conference as well as in multiple workshops. For anyone interested, I will be glad to talk about PI positions at Aithyra (spoiler: we offer some of the best conditions in Europe)

Are you a passionate drug hunter and an inspirational leader with a background in computational chemistry? So you want to make a difference in cancer research? Then this could be for you: jobs.boehringer-ingelheim.com/job/Vienna-S... #ChemJobs #EuChemJobs #ChemSky #CompChem

How would you leverage AI/ML techniques to create and integrate 3D-generative models with potency predictions in drug design? We have an open PostDoc position in this field and would love to see you application! #ChemSky #ChemJobs #PostDoc www.opnme.com/opn2talents/...

Integrating AI/ML-based approaches with mechanistic modelling has lot of potential for molecule design in drug discovery. Happy to see this published! doi.org/10.1111/cts.... #ChemSky #MedSky

We are searching for PostDocs! If you are interested in Bayesian optimization, generative AI & lab automation, please take a look! jobs.boehringer-ingelheim.com/job/Ingelhei... jobs.boehringer-ingelheim.com/job/Ingelhei... jobs.boehringer-ingelheim.com/job/Ingelhei... #chemjobs #postdoc #chemsky

Come work with my amazing colleague Xavier Barril and help us design great molecules! #chemsky #chemjobs #compchem #euchemjobs jobs.boehringer-ingelheim.com/job/Biberach...

We are searching for an experienced leader in Medicinal Chemisty! Are you ready to take over the responsibility for a group of scientists, their labs and a portfolio of projects in Immunology and Respiratory? jobs.boehringer-ingelheim.com/job/Biberach... #chemjobs #chemsky #euchemjobs

We are searching for an experienced Medicinal Chemist in Biberach, Germany. The position is located in a small, agile team focusing on Animal Health (as part of a larger MedChem department). You might have to listen to my synthesis ideas. 😀 #ChemSky jobs.boehringer-ingelheim.com/job/Biberach...

Today, we’re excited to welcome Nicola Richmond (@recursionpharma.bsky.social), Michael Reutlinger (Roche), and Nils Weskamp (@boehringerglobal.bsky.social) to the Small Molecule Steering Committee at Polaris! Learn more about what the steering committee is up to: polarishub.io/guidelines

Very nice to see the work of Matt Warren and Isak Valsson just out with Charlotte Deane, Aniket Magarkar and @garrettmm.bsky.social where we show how augementation can dramatically improve ML affinity predictions to close to FEP accuracy. rdcu.be/d88Wm

"Drug discovery & development continues to be challenging, and despite a desire to find short cuts, guides, mnemonics, and simple predictive parameters as surrogates for clinical success, we must continue to critically assess how useful these methods are." www.nature.com/articles/s41... #ChemSky

If you use generative #DeepLearning for molecule design, check out our latest work, where we perform a large scale analysis (~1 B designs!) and find ‘traps’, ‘treasures’ and ‘ways out’ in the jungle of generative drug discovery. 🌴 🐒 Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2501.05457 Code: github.com/molML/jungle...

To augment human intelligence with digital tools, we must understand what the human brain is great at and where it has limitations. This paper estimates that human behavior happens at 10 bits per second, so processing information at scale should be on the list: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Online Symposium on Molecular Machine Learning on January 16th, organized by the Glorius Group at @unimuenster.bsky.social - with @fjduarte.bsky.social, @kulikgroup.bsky.social, Bingqing Cheng, Matthew Sigman: www.uni-muenster.de/Chemie.oc/gl.... Registration is free and highly recommended!

Before you put your next presentation together, you should have a look at this classic paper. If you want the audience to remember what you said, it has to be a story. #Storytelling #ScienceCommunication link.springer.com/article/10.3...
