Thrilled to announce that the first paper from Flemming's PhD was accepted as Poster for NeurIPS2025! In this paper we adapt the HollowNet idea from Chen and Duvenaud to equivariant MP networks, to get cheap sample likelihoods for flow-based Boltzmann Generators. Preprint/code coming soon.

Looks great! Do you have a rough timeline for releasing the full dataset?

Had a great team workshop yesterday at Chalmers. A full day of getting to know each other better, discussing research, and brainstorming. I'm really proud of the team, the passion and supportive energy they bring, and the environment we've built together over the last couple years!

I’ll be at AISTATS presenting our work on designing efficient and scalable equivariant models for 3D molecular generation. You can find me at poster session 2, no 132. Also very happy to meet up during the conference!

Check out cool new work from our group in collaboration with Pfizer and AstraZeneca, lead by Julian Cremer and Ross Irwin on FLOWR, a flow-based ligand generation approach, and highly sanitized benchmark dataset, SPINDR, for the SBDD community!

Overview of the RetroSynFormer architecture.

Overview of the RetroSynFormer architecture.

Check out RetroSynFormer, a Decision Transformer model for multi-step retrosynthesis planning. Developed with an industrial PhD student in my team, Emma Granqvist, and her AstraZeneca co-supervisor Samuel Genheden, RetroSynFormer reframes retrosynthesis as a sequence modeling task. (1/2)

Impressive work by @franknoe.bsky.social and team! A pragmatic tour-de-force combining experimental and predicted protein structures, MD simulations and experimental stability data to sample conformational ensembles of proteins. Think AlphaFold, but capturing multiple free energy minima.
