PSI special guest seminar: ‘AI for antibody design - going beyond the static’ presented by Professor Charlotte Deane
This talk is for PSI staff and students. Members of the University who are not at the PSI are welcome to join, but please contact us beforehand to let us know (events.psi@ndm.ox.ac.uk).
We are delighted to welcome Professor Charlotte Deane, Professor of Structural Bioinformatics at the University of Oxford, to talk on ‘AI for antibody design – going beyond the static’.
The seminar will be chaired by Dr Matthew Raybould and will take place on 30 October, from 16:00 to 17:00, in the lecture theatre of the Richard Doll Building.
Abstract
The ability of proteins to adapt their shape can be fundamental to their function. Whilst we can now computationally predict a single, static protein structure with high accuracy, we are not yet able to reliably predict structural flexibility. A major factor limiting such predictions is the scarcity of suitable training data. Professor Deane will present novel tools and databases that help to overcome this.
