Two weeks from now I'll be at ISMB 2025 in Liverpool with a poster presenting our Transformer-based small molecule VAE with a chemistry-aware latent space. In the meantime, if you're attending, you can already see it online: iscb.junolive.co/ISMB/live/ex...
Looking forward to seeing you there!

Olfaction works like a combinatorial code: there are various types of olfactory receptors, each can be activated by multiple molecules, and some molecules can activate multiple receptors. The brain interprets these unique activation patterns as distinct smells.

Did you know smell detection relies on specialized proteins called "olfactory receptors"?
Located in olfactory neuron membranes inside the nose, they change shape when a molecule binds, triggering reactions that ultimately open ion channels, depolarize the membrane and send a signal to the brain.
