Postdoc at MPI-CBG, Dresden, Germany, studying cell-cell communication in development.

Pinc is now available as a C program, eliminating interpreter overhead and substantially speeding up computation for large-scale structural analyses. It’s still under active development, so please reach out with any questions, feedback, or issues. 🔗 git.mpi-cbg.de/tothpetroczy... #alphafold

My first manuscript in MPI colours! With @tothpetroczylab.bsky.social, we show that AlphaFold PAE-derived contact probabilities are well calibrated to the fraction of true interface contacts across experimentally determined protein dimers. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Two-panel calibration plot (two benchmark dimer datasets) comparing predicted interchain contact-probability bins (x-axis) with the observed fraction of native interfacial contacts (y-axis). Points follow the diagonal, indicating close agreement between predicted probabilities and true interface-contact fractions.

Congratulations to Rashmi and Karolina and also to the technology development studio of the MPI-CBG without whom the screen would not have been possible. If you are interested in high-content screening in organoid models, you may want to take a look.

The group of @anne-grapin.bsky.social developed methods to create functional acinar cells, which are involved in the formation of pancreatic cancer. Rashmiparvathi Keshara, Karolina Kuodyte, and the TDS facility used image-based screen & robust analysis pipeline. www.mpi-cbg.de/news-outreac...

Honored to be featured in #100biologists alongside so many inspiring scientists! @biologists.bsky.social and @bsdb.bsky.social supported my PhD journey through conferences, seminars, and travel grants. Proud to have two publications in CoB journals and to give back as a BSDB committee member!

Happy to see our predictive scores integrated into DECIPHER! We hope they will help clinicians uncover the molecular mechanisms driving dominant disease. Huge thanks to the team at @deciphergenomics.bsky.social for their support. A follow-up study is underway to improve predictions—stay tuned!

Protein predictive scores which predict the likelihood that the protein is associated with a dominant-negative, gain-of-function or loss-of-function mechanism are displayed. Curated literature support for a molecular disease mechanism is also shown jmarshlab.bsky.social @mbadonyi.bsky.social
