Protein folding and protein structure prediction
Deciphering the structure and function of proteins is pivotal in modern biology and medicine. Our work focuses on pioneering computational methods, integrating advanced AI techniques and physics-based force fields, to precisely model protein structure and function. A key objective is uncovering the fundamental interplay between protein sequence, structure, and function.

AI-based protein design and drug discovery
Nature proteins exhibit limited structural folds and functions, shaped over billions of years of evolution. This project seeks to leverage AI and deep learning to craft novel protein sequences, surpassing natural constraints. The computationally designed proteins and peptides hold promise as drugs, offering innovative treatments for diverse human diseases, including cancer and Alzheimer's.

From iteration on multiple collections in synchrony to fast general interval joins
Synchrony iterator captures a programming pattern for synchronized iterations. It is a conservative extension that enhances the repertoire of algorithms expressible in comprehension syntax. In particular, efficient general synchronized iterations, e.g. linear-time algorithms for low-selectivity database non-equijoins, become expressible naturally in comprehensinon syntax.
