First of two stays completed ! @bayfor.org @www.helmholtz-munich.de www.linkedin.com/posts/mathie...

Last days to register! Come and join us at the Symposium!

If you have not done so yet, send your abstract today to the Helmholtz Munich AI for Health Symposium 2025 on Generative AI in Molecule Discovery!

We also introduce a method for rotating latent factors to enhance interpretability with respect to binary features. FACTM was validated on text and video benchmarks as well as real-world music and COVID-19 datasets.

FACTM is a multi-view and multi-structure Bayesian model that combines factor analysis with correlated topic modeling and is optimized using variational inference. The model is integrating simple vector views, as in traditional FA, with structured views, which have multiple data points per sample.

Thrilled to share new paper on FACTM, our Factor Analysis with Correlated Topic Model for Multi-Modal Data, accepted at AISTATS, 2025!

if you are at the conference, come to talk to Malgorzata Lazecka at her poster!

I will be chairing and presenting at the ED45 - How to Measure Cancer Evolution session at @AACR25 today. We've got great speakers, @nlbigas.bsky.social and @jeffreytownsend.bsky.social :) Come and attend the session if you are there! Would love to connect.

Keynotes:
@machine.learning.bio Christian Dallago, Duke University, US
@delafuentelab.bsky.social  Cesar de la Fuente, UPenn, US
@fragrisoni.bsky.social  Francesca Grisoni - TU/e, NL
Birte Hoecker, Bayeruth University, DE

The Symposium will explore recent advancements in generative AI models for molecule discovery, with a focus on applications in health and drug development. Topics include AI-driven design of small molecules, peptides, and proteins, drug repurposing, and AI-based modelling of DNA and RNA sequences.

Save the date for the Helmholtz Munich AI for Health Symposium 2025, devoted to the topic of Generative AI in Molecule Discovery!

July 4, 2025
Helmholtz Munich Campus in Neuherberg, Germany

Wonderful opportunities to develop novel AI methods with applications in computational biology and medicine!
Please share or apply :)

At the Antimicrobial peptides GRC Conference in beautiful Ventura, California. Thanks to Delphine Destoumieux-Garzón and Gerard Wood for the invitation and the opportunity to talk about Generative AI for antimicrobial peptide discovery! With
@szymczakpau.bsky.social, her poster and amazing sunset:)

His project is a follow up to his recent publication "CaClust: linking genotype to transcriptional heterogeneity of follicular lymphoma using BCR and exomic variants" in Genome Biology rdcu.be/d2x0b

Very proud to share that Kazik Oksza-Orzechowski, a PhD candidate in our lab was awarded the NCN National Science Centre Preludium grant for his Cell-MAGIC project!

Kazik will attempt to infer clonal structure and genotypes of follicular lymphoma cells from scRNA-seq and scBCR-seq data.
