Absolutely thrilled to see ProteinDJ released. Many thanks to @joshuamhardy Dylan Silke and the team Junqi Pan, Andrew Thompson, Julie Iskander, @TonyPapenfuss for their enormous amount of work, making this pipeline open source.

I am thrilled to release ProteinDJ: a high-performance and modular protein design pipeline. Our open-source workflow incorporates #RFdiffusion, #ProteinMPNN, #FAMPNN, #AlphaFold2 and #Boltz-2. It is a fast, free, and fun way to design proteins (1/5) doi.org/10.1101/2025.09.24.6…

💫 Our new publication in @scisignal reveals insights into gastric cancer progression! Funded by @latrobe, Dr Shoukat Sterle & team found inhibiting DCLK1 reduces tumour growth and prevents cancer from reshaping its environment. Congrats to the team! 👉 tinyurl.com/onjsho

@joshuamhardy hey mate, I enjoyed your talk. TEMPO is a taking off! A really great initiative. If we can, Monash should contribute more material or content, whatever helps. Keep it up 🤘

AlphaFold has given us millions of protein structure predictions, but analysing these can be tricky due to computational limitations. Foldseek Cluster is a new algorithm that can perform structural comparisons of every #AlphaFoldDB protein prediction. ebi.ac.uk/about/news/researc…

I had so much fun writing this review with some of my colleagues including @prosston10 and @anwarmedc. I hope you enjoy reading it. portlandpress.com/biochemj/a… Thanks @Biochem_Journal for inviting me to write this #RandomActsOfKinase

How many kinases are druggable? A review of our current understanding

There are over 500 human kinases ranging from very well-studied to almost completely ignored. Kinases are tractable and implicated in many diseases, making them ideal targets for medicinal chemistry...
