Alberto has been awarded an NWO Veni! The project is described below: PLASTIC-JUNC: Predicting nanoPLASTIC risks to animal JUNCtional protein integrity. Nanoplastics are specks of plastic a million times smaller than a millimeter. Recently, researchers found nanoplastics in our food, organs and even in the placenta. Nanoplastic accumulation can lead to organ failure and reduced […]
Read moreDuring the fully sold-out ChemAI event, which was co-organized by Bernd Ensing, Computational Chemistry had the chance to share its work with the academic and industrial communities. The work of our PhDs and Postdocs was showcased during the poster session. While everyone received a lot of well-deserved attention, two group members stood out: Jacobus received […]
Read moreUnder the supervision of Prof. Carme Rovira, Oriol Esquivias Bautista de Lisbona, a former visitor in the group of Bernd Ensing, has obtained his PhD from the University of Barcelona with the higher possible note, i.e., “excellent”. During his stay in our group, Oriol worked on combining quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics modelling with path-metadynamics to elucidate […]
Read moreThe new Research Priority Area in Artificial Intelligence for Sustainable Molecules and Materials (AI4SMM) aims to produce “breakthroughs in sustainable innovation with AI and computational methods for molecules and materials to aid in realising the materials transition needed for a sustainable society“. Last winter, AI4SMM opened a call to fund four interdisciplinary 2-year postdoctoral fellowships. […]
