Pretty excited to share I started a new job as Assistant Professor AI & Structure Based Drug Discovery in the group of @GJPvWesten @CDDLeiden. Looking forward to explore the interface between these two increasingly popular methods in drug discovery and teach students to use them!

Congratulations to all the awardees of the @NWOFunding Veni grants in the @LeidenScienceEN faculty of @UniLeidenNews and especially to Annebelle Kok, Anne-Grete Märtson (@anne8rete) and @Willemjespers from the institutes that participate in the @LED3hub.
NWO has awarded Veni funding of up to EUR 320,000 to 174 promising researchers from across the full breadth of science. This will allow the laureates to further develop their own research ideas over the next three years. https://t.co/Kr6nKOvf3J

Never had such amazing docking scores before.
No one is talking about how amazing Photoshop's generative AI is going to be for science. A simple "improve correlation" prompt and say goodbye to p > 0.05!

Hey @KLM my flight got cancelled last night and I was told I would be rebooked but haven’t heard anything back yet? Supposed to be on the KL618 BOS -> AMS. Would be great to get some help as ground personnel wasn’t able to help me a lot
