Coding for Scientists 002: Data Types and Functions in Python

3D World of Molecules

The other day, while driving to work, I listened to a podcast featuring Fei-Fei Li, who recently launched World Labs, a company focused on developing spatial intelligence by building large world models. For those outside the field of AI, Fei-Fei Li is a powerhouse, widely regarded as one of the

Molecular interactions: Dance of Entropy and Enthalpy

In structure-based drug design, it's easy to be misled by the static image of a crystal structure. When aiming to improve the binding between a protein and a synthetic molecule, our natural instinct is often to increase as many hydrogen-bond interactions as possible by adding additional H-bond donors

Coding for scientists 001: Install Python and Write Your First Line of Code

Whether you're working with data from lab experiments or just curious about coding, this blog series is here to help. Don’t fall into the trap of thinking, “I’m a synthetic chemist or a cell biologist; I’ll never need to code.” The truth is, learning to code will only benefit your career.

The Promises and Perils of Molecular Glues: Unpacking the Concept and Field’s Challenges
