With this publication, we hope we further cement the idea that deep generative models can go beyond static structure generation and towards capturing biologically relevant dynamics at scale.

BioEmu is a generative deep learning model for emulating protein equilibrium ensembles. It's already been open-sourced and used across the community to generate high-fidelity protein structural ensembles.

We're looking for curious, technically strong researchers who want to work on problems that matter. Background in ML, stats, or applied data science is ideal. Radiation oncology experience welcome, but not required.

Having worked in both academic and industry labs, I’ve seen what each does best, and what they sometimes can’t.

With AIDA, we’re closing the loop between idea → data → model → clinical feedback → deployment — all under one roof.
April 21, 2025 at 4:05 PM
Our aim is to bridge the gap between the ambition of leading AI labs, the rigor of academic research, and the grounded reality of patient care.

AIDA is a research group embedded directly within one of the world’s busiest cancer centers.

We work at the intersection of:
– Clinical data at scale
– Cutting-edge ML
– Daily oncology practice
