Dear All,
I would like to circulate some current Cheminformatics- (and related) news to everyone as follows.
In particular I would like to point out the 3rd In Silico Toxicology Conference on 29 September 2022, which will be held fully virtually (http://drugdiscovery.net/tox2022/) and which is free to attend and open to all. We already have more than 600 people registered but a few places remain and we hope to add live streaming on Youtube beyond that – please distribute to your contacts who might be interested as well, and hope to see you there!
Our next Berlin Digital Science for Drug Discovery Seminar has now also been scheduled, for 19 October 2022, and the programme is available as well – please see http://digidrug.net/ for details, and we equally welcome you to join us at this event.
If you have information from your side for distribution please just let me know, and I am very happy to include it on the next occasion.
So here we go…

“Here we present the first 3D pretrain-powered binding pose prediction, Uni-Mol Docking.[…] Besides binding pose prediction, Uni-Mol also achieves SOTA in various tasks, such as molecular property prediction and molecular conformation generation.”

Next needs to come translation to practice

I believe this is all from my side for now – if you have any information for me to circulate, or wish to present at one of our next Cambridge Cheminformatics or Digital Science for Drug Discovery Meetings, please just let me know, cheers!
Best wishes,
Andreas
