Our Students' paper is published

Chaïma Mohamed — 2024-10-02T08:42:01Z

The first paper of two of our former students and first alumni, co-written with Prof. Joao Aires Da Sousa, is now available online:

Exploring Molecular Heteroencoders with Latent Space Arithmetic: Atomic Descriptors and Molecular Operators. Molecules 2024, 29, 3969.
https://doi.org/10.3390/molecules29163969

Natalia was an Erasmus Mundus master's student in the study-track 'Chemoinformatics for biophysical chemistry', within the framework of which she lived and studied in Ljubljana, Slovenia, and Strasbourg, France.

Xinyue was also an Erasmus Mundus master's student as part of the 'In silicon drug design' study-track, which brought her to Strasbourg, Milan and Paris* during her studies.

We are immensely proud of our students for this impressive achievement.

* The 'In silico drug design' study-track comports now the following locations in the following order: Paris-Milan-Paris-internship.
