Do you wish working with T-cell receptor structures was easier? Us too! STCRpy, our software suite for TCR structure parsing, interaction profiling and machine learning dataset preparation is now available! Github: github.com/npqst/stcrpy/ Pre-print: doi.org/10.1101/2025.04.25.6… 1/3

We are looking forward to community contributions as more TCR structure research is conducted. We have also written some developer guidelines; if you have any questions just reach out! This will be my last tweet: nele-q.bsky.social 3/3

I'll be presenting initial results or our new approach to protein flexibility estimation via uncertainty quantification at @workshopmlsb today. Drop by the poster session and check out the paper to find out more! mlsb.io/papers_2024/Estimati…

The @OPIGlets are out in force at  @NeurIPSConf - check out our work at the @workshopmlsb and AIDrugX workshops today. @lucyvost, @nelequast and Nikhil Branson are presenting work on diffusion for small molecules, protein flexibility estimation and deep drug response models!

I've posted my first @OPIGlets blog summarising the Graphormer DL architecture! blopig.com/blog/2022/10/grap…
Headed in the right direction. The NHS moves to "examine the feasibility of moving the app to the decentralised model ... being chosen by more and more European countries"

Thanks to @BBCWorld for having us! We hope it helped to get a better understanding of the app we're offering. FYI: any help is very welcome, as we're an open source community. #decentralized #opensource #Covid_19
I had an interview with @BBCNews about our app @itoApp. Tune into minute 3:22 until 10:25 to hear about our decentralised app. I'd recommend to listen to the whole show, it's a really good with lots of background info. bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/w172x2… #trackinfectionsnotpeople

The u-turn in Germany is in huge part thanks to coordinated, speedy, relentless work from civil society. I’m in awe of friends and colleagues working tirelessly to stop the worst case scenario playing out on so many fronts right now.

Working together with @TU_Muenchen on our app. So glad the german government picked up our decentralized approach with the @TCNCoalition protocol!

As one of the founding members of the @TCNCoalition, we're proud that @SZ has picked up our joint statement. Thanks to @SimonHurtz. BTW, ito has pitched the app at the @MinVWS appathon in the Netherlands this weekend. sueddeutsche.de/digital/coro… #trackinfectionsnotpeople #COVID19

BTW: We are an open-source community and 100% open for any collaboration. We do NOT promote competitive behaviour and wish to see more joint forces on this project. That's the reason we decided to be a founding member of the @TCNCoalition

Thanks @MinVWS for an adrenaline-packed weekend. Great to meet the people working on privacy-protecting contact tracing and honoured to be able to represent the work of our teams from @itoApp & @TCNCoalition. Events like Appathon and @WirvsVirusHack get us all closer to our goal
I would have never guessed that I'd end up in a pitch for the Netherlands Ministry of Health @MinVWS to show the app we have started to develop at the @WirvsVirusHack. More about our open-source, privacy-preserving corona tracing app @itoApp: ito-app.org. #COVID19
