Join us for the panel discussion on the results and insights from the AlignBio Tournament, today at 5:00 PM CET! Last year, we demonstrated our powerful protein design tool and secured the first place in the in silico supervised learning challenge. Stay tuned for our upcoming case study! Align to Innovate thanks for organizing!

Ein Drittel der von Humboldt-Alumni gegründeten Unternehmen haben einen internationalen Hauptsitz… Viele streben die Internationalisierung ihres Unternehmens an und stehen vor großen Chancen, aber auch vor kniffligen Herausforderungen. 🌍 Der diesjährige Founders Schmaus vom Humboldt Founders Club widmet sich der Internationalisierung. Im Fireside Chat diskutieren die international aktiven Founder:innen Jelena Ivanovska, PhD, Chris Vogel und Sebastian Schulze mit uns das Thema und geben wertvollen Input. ✨ Der German Accelerator bringt uns ein International Readiness Game mit und der Austausch mit den Humboldt Founder:innen kommt natürlich auch nicht zu kurz. 🤝 Im Halleschen Haus erwartet uns im wunderschönen Außenbereich ein BBQ und Gastgeberin Friederike Laun führt uns durch den Abend. 🍹 Das Dinner wird von K.I.E.Z. Künstliche Intelligenz Entrepreneurship Zentrum gesponsert. Vielen Dank für die Unterstützung! Das Künstliche Intelligenz Entrepreneurship Zentrum fördert wissenschaftsbasierte KI-Startups von der ersten Idee bis zu frühen Wachstumsphase mit Zugang zu Talenten, Kapital, Industriepartnern und wissenschaftlichem Fachwissen. 🤖 Bist du Gründer:in aus dem Umfeld der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin?

We are excited to announce we have been selected as finalist at the Science Startup category of Falling Walls #GlobalCall24! This recognition brings us one step closer to the Science Breakthroughs of the Year, which will be celebrated at the #FallingWalls #ScienceSummit24 on the 7th-9th of November. Falling Walls Venture is a global platform showcasing the entrepreneurial potential in science, providing a stage for pioneering science-based start-ups. Throughout the year, universities and institutions nominate the most innovative start-ups, with finalists invited to pitch in Berlin and compete for the title of “Falling Walls Science Breakthrough of the Year Science Start-Ups.”

In our latest episode of #MachinesAndMolecules, we're excited to host Stanislav Mazurenko, a renowned expert in protein engineering and artificial intelligence. With a Ph.D. in applied mathematics and cybernetics from Lomonosov Moscow State University, Stanislav's journey has taken him through postdoctoral research at Loschmidt Laboratories, Faculty of Science, Masaryk University and the University of Liverpool, leading to his current role as a research team leader at RECETOX. Join us as we dive into Stanislav's expertise in protein engineering, exploring the complexities of protein design and the therefore crucial role of innovative ML approaches in this field. We discuss molecular dynamics simulations, statistical models, and how machine learning deciphers vast datasets to streamline and enhance protein engineering methods. Stanislav also shares his insights on the synergy between automation of lab equipment and machine learning and the importance of embracing mistakes in scientific research. Catch the podcast on YouTube, Spotify, and other platforms! Check out the link in the comments below. 

"In our work at Exazyme, AI isn't just a tool; it's a catalyst that breaks barriers and unlocks new possibilities in biotechnology. Our interdisciplinary team of machine learning and biochemistry experts operates at exactly this intersection, knowing precisely where and how to apply AI for maximum impact." - Jelena Ivanovska, CSO at Exazyme Last week, Jelena joined Nicole Büttner, CEO of Merantix Momentum, and Noha Radwan, software engineer at Inceptive, at the AI Breakfast. They discussed their diverse career journeys, spanning backgrounds from robotics to biochemistry, and explored the transition from academia to startups. This shift demands resilience and curiosity, accelerating ideas beyond the slower pace of academic environments. Starting or joining a startup involves convincing customers, partners, and investors of your vision, requiring clear proof of concept and data-driven narratives. Transparency and demonstrating tangible impact with evidence are crucial for gaining investor confidence. Successful ventures also hinge on effective team building and leadership. Embracing interdisciplinary teams fosters innovation by integrating diverse perspectives, while flattening hierarchies promotes a culture where creativity thrives and the best ideas prevail. They further delved into AI's transformative role in biotechnology, and in particular how Exazyme and Inceptive are driving innovation in this field. #startup #ai #biotech #aibreakfast

Is AI the future of biotechnology, or just a fleeting trend? 🧬 Join us in deciding at the next Women's AI Breakfast on AI and BioTech! Bringing a wealth of experience and visionary thinking to the table, we will have: 🎤 Jelena Ivanovska, PhD, CSO at Exazyme, who is revolutionizing cancer research through advanced protein design. 🎤 Noha Radwan, PhD, pushing the boundaries of biological software at Inceptive. I look forward to hosting yet another edition of our breakfast, celebrating women's contributions in tech, and exploring how AI is reshaping the future of medicine.

Developing biotech faster and cheaper using computational power 💻🔬 In our CLIB webinar “Machine Minds, Bio Solutions: Redefining Bioprocess & Enzyme Engineering”, we and more than 140 participants dived into the topic of developing enzymes, processes, and products faster using artificial intelligence and machine learning. Our speakers Victor Guallar from the Barcelona Supercomputing Center, Dr. Lukas Pluska from Exazyme, Matthew Thompson from Biomatter, and Maximilian Siska from the Forschungszentrum Jülich presented their work and research on the topic: They talked about using virtual data to fill in gaps of experimental data or training an AI-powered large language model like ChatGPT to speak “protein”. They showed how to reduce the need for experiments by the factor of one thousand, how to build new-to-nature proteins, even from scratch, by combining generative AI and physics, and how to find the right experiment within a multi-dimensional cloud of opportunities to accelerate the development. In a final discussion with all speakers, we discussed the standardisation of data, computational power needed, and how communication between biotechnologists, engineers, and data scientists can work. Most of the participants probably learned as much about AI as the CLIB team did, especially about all the possibilities to use these powerful tools to design biotech processes of the future. 🚀🔍 Thank you to all speakers and participants for joining us and to our projects FuturEnzyme and BiodeCCodiNNg Doctoral Network for supporting the webinar. 🙏🌱

Join us for the CLIB - Cluster Industrielle Biotechnologie Webinar this Thursday!

Last week, we attended #TOA24, where we connected with both local and international startups and VCs to discuss the latest technology trends. This year, the Tech Open Air showcased technology with the potential to shape a better future, including Climate Tech, Health Tech, SynBio, Web3, and AI. From breakthroughs in cancer treatment, alternative food sources or longevity, over quantum computing and AI, to harnessing Europe's innovation, and building and scaling deep tech startups, the conference covered it all. It was fantastic meeting everyone and exchanging ideas. Looking forward to continuing these important discussions!
